Summary: When Alliant Capital Management contacts you regarding debt, you may panic and become anxious. But with a few tips, you can handle the situation like a pro—without hiring an attorney. Here's how.

Alliant Capital Management is a debt collector. So a call from them probably means one thing: you are in debt, and the account is past due. Occasionally, the call is misplaced, so the debt may not even be yours.

Even though Alliant Capital Management LLC says they do not sue consumers, your original creditor can take you to court if the recovery is unsuccessful. Even if you are not facing a lawsuit, the calls and harassment can still become a life stressor. And if they decide to report your delinquent account to the credit reporting bureaus, your credit score can take a serious hit.

This article will answer your most pressing questions about Alliant Capital Management, LLC, while providing insight into how to deal with debt collectors in general. First, who are they?

Let’s take a look at a real complaint against Alliant Capital on its BBB profile:

"Alliant Capital has been contacting people I know trying to locate me, including leaving harassing voicemails on my minor child's cell phone. They claim to have attempted to contact me via mail, but I have not received any written notice. The voicemail left for me was threatening and vague…."

If these allegations are true, Alliant Capital has a case to answer. Under the FDCPA guidelines, a debt collector should not threaten or harass you.

What should I do when Alliant Capital contacts me?

It's wise to ask that all communication take place in writing. That way, you have proof of every correspondence, and any agreements you make are on record.

Whether you think the debt is yours or not, you should always ask for validation. Sending a Debt Validation Letter to Alliant Capital Management reports the debt as disputed. They must provide proof of the debt—for example, who is the original creditor? What’s the debt payment history? Which interests apply? What’s the current status of the account?

Alliant Capital should stop contacting you if they can not provide adequate answers to your questions.

Debt Lawsuit Flowchart

If you’re being sued for a debt, you must take action fast. Follow these three steps to respond to a debt collection lawsuit::

Answer every claim on the Complaint document: Read the Complaint document carefully and respond to each claim. You may deny, agree, or deny for lack of knowledge. By denying a claim, you are saying you need proof. If you agree, then you are accepting liability. Denying a claim for lack of knowledge says you don't understand and may need further clarification.

Submit your affirmative defenses: Submitting or asserting your affirmative defenses is simply stating your case (why you believe you are not guilty of the claims). For example, you can argue that there's no basis for the lawsuit because the creditor has not mentioned the law you allegedly violated.

Send the Answer to the court and the creditor's attorney: Making sure your Answer reaches the court in time is paramount. You don't have too long (14-35 days), so respond at the earliest possible opportunity. Granted, you may find creating an Answer document daunting if it's your first time. If that's the case, you can conveniently use SoloSuit to make one in 15 minutes. Your answers to a few direct questions are all that we need to generate your legal response. SoloSuit can have an attorney review your Answer and file it with the court at a small fee if you so prefer.

Here's an example of how responding to a debt collection lawsuit can be a lifesaver.

Example: Amanda receives a court Summons to answer a debt collection lawsuit. Her first instinct is to ignore the Summons. A few days later, she hears about SoloSuit and decides to try creating the Answer. She makes her response in less than 20 minutes and decides it would be convenient to have SoloSuit review and file it for her. SoloSuit does so in good time. Later, Amanda learns that the creditor dropped the lawsuit. It turns out the debt was already time-barred. The creditor hoped that Amanda would ignore the Summons so the court could issue a default judgment. They failed this time. And Amanda, overjoyed at the outcome, is glad she listened to SoloSuit.

"First time getting sued by a debt collector and I was searching all over YouTube and ran across SoloSuit, so I decided to buy their services with their attorney reviewed documentation which cost extra but it was well worth it! SoloSuit sent the documentation to the parties and to the court which saved me time from having to go to court and in a few weeks the case got dismissed!" – James
