The crucial thing you need to know about responding to a debt collection lawsuit is that there are essentially three things you need to do:

  1. Answer the lawsuit. That means that you need to specifically “admit” or “deny” each numbered paragraph in the Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn complaint that you receive. Remember, if you are not absolutely certain of the truth of anything in the complaint – like whether Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn has the authority to represent the creditor company, or that you owe a certain amount – then you want to “deny” or at least say “I don 't know” in response to those number paragraphs.

  2. Assert Affirmative Defenses against the lawsuit. Not only do you want to respond to what the Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn lawsuit says, but you also can – as part of your Answer – state why you do not owe the amount the complaint says you owe. It could be because you have proof that the debt has been resolved, or that you are not the account holder of the account in debt, or that Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn waited too long to sue and, thus, they are outside the statute of limitations.

  3. File your Answer before the deadline. Finally, you need to make sure that the Court receives your Answer and Affirmative Defenses in the time allowed. Each state has different rules on how long you have to respond.

Now, you might think that the above does not look as “easy as 1-2-3.” It is not as hard as you think, and it is much easier if you get the help of Solo.

Negotiate a debt settlement with Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn

If you prefer to avoid going through the stressful and time-intensive litigation process, then consider initiating debt settlement negotiations with Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn. Below are three steps you should consider taking to settle debt:

Step 1: Assess how much you can actually pay

Before starting debt settlement negotiations, make sure to calculate how much you can actually afford to pay in a lump sum. Your calculation should take into consideration your other living expenses. If you don’t have sufficient funds to make a lump sum payment, try to calculate what you could pay in installments.

Step 2: Reach out to the debt collector to engage in debt settlement negotiations

Once you’ve calculated how much you can reasonably repay, the next step is to try and negotiate a settlement. Start by offering a lower percentage of the total amount owed, typically 30% to 50% of the original amount, and be prepared to negotiate upward. If possible, offer a lump sum payment as creditors are more likely to accept a lower amount if they receive an immediate payment.

Step 3: Get the debt settlement agreement in writing

Before making a payment toward the debt, ensure you receive a written agreement outlining the terms of the settlement. This is known as a debt settlement agreement. The agreement should clearly state that the payment will settle the debt in full and that they will not pursue any further legal action or collections.

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.
