Tips on negotiating a debt settlement with CVCS Debt Collection

If you’d like to avoid going through the stress and frustration often associated with debt collection litigation, then it may make sense to consider engaging in debt settlement negotiations with CVCS Debt Collection. Here are some steps you should consider taking to try and settle your debt:

The first step to take is calculating how much you can afford to pay in a lump sum toward the balance of the debt. This calculation should take into consideration your living expenses (e.g., rent, food, utilities, etc.). If you lack the funds to make a lump sum payment, try to calculate what you could pay via monthly installments.

Once you’ve determined how much you can repay, reach out to CVCS Debt Collection to kick off settlement negotiations. It is recommended you start the negotiations by offering a lower percentage of the total amount owed, somewhere between 30% and 50% of the original amount. Be prepared to go back and forth with the debt collector and to negotiate upward.

If settlement negotiations go well and you reach an amicable resolution, make sure to get the terms memorialized in a written agreement known as a debt settlement agreement. This agreement should state that the payment will settle the debt in full.

If you decide to engage in settlement talks, consider using smart tools to help you with the debt settlement negotiation process, like SoloSettle, which is a software that sends and receives settlement offers for you until you come to an agreement with the collector or creditor. Innovative tools such as SoloSettle can make it much easier to fly solo in the credit card debt settlement process, which can help you both save money and resolve your debts more efficiently than litigation.

Respond if CVCS Debt Collection files a debt collection lawsuit

If CVCS Debt Collection sues you, it's good policy to respond as soon as possible. Please don't think you can ignore the lawsuit and it will go away. This means the debt collection company wins. But there are several things you can try to get the lawsuit thrown out as you write your Answer:

  • Never concede to a debt collection company that you owe the debt. They must prove that the debt is yours. Don't do their job for them.
  • File your Answer with the appropriate clerk of court within the right time frame as noted in the complaint - usually 20 or 30 days.
  • Mail your Answer copy to CVCS Debt Collection and be sure it has been stamped by the Clerk of Court.

Affirmative Defenses to Potentially Raise in Your Answer to the Debt Collection Lawsuit

You need to respond effectively to the debt collection suit and consider using some affirmative defenses. Point out any weaknesses in their case. Remember that CVCS must prove you owe the money. So they have to prove a few things before they can legally claim the debt is yours.

  • The debt collection agency can sue you.
  • You are the person who owes the money.
  • You owe the amount that CVCS claims in the complaint.

If the debt collection firm doesn't satisfy these requirements, the lawsuit may be dismissed.

Depending on the case, you might claim the company failed to file the lawsuit after the statute of limitations expired. This is how long someone has to sue you. It can range between one and three years in many cases.

If the statute of limitations expired, you could file a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed with prejudice.

Also, you may even be able to get compensation and your legal fees paid by the debt collector if you can prove they violated federal law when they contacted you. If you are smart and aggressive, you can walk away without owing a dime AND have the company pay your legal fees!

Make the right defense the right way with SoloSuit.

What to do if you’re sued by CVCS Debt Collection
