How to negotiate with RMP Services to settle debt
If you were served with a debt collection lawsuit filed by RMP Services, do not throw your hands up in despair. You
have time to try and negotiate a debt settlement.
It is important to proactively respond to the debt collection lawsuit for a couple of reasons. First, filing a
timely response reduces the risk that you get hit with a default judgment. Second, timely responding gives you more
time to engage in productive settlement negotiations.
Here are some recommended steps to try and settle a debt:
After you’ve timely filed an Answer to the debt collection lawsuit, determine how much you can afford to pay
toward the balance of the debt. Consider using the following the debt settlement formula to calculate your
settlement range: Amount available to settle = (monthly income – monthly costs) + savings)
Once you have a realistic settlement range in place, contact RMP Services and convey your opening settlement
offer, preferably in writing.
Your initial settlement offer should generally be less than the maximum amount you can pay. Why? So you have
some wiggle room to negotiate in the event they decline your opening offer.
Be prepared to go through multiple rounds of negotiating.
If you can reach a viable debt settlement agreement with RMP Services, make sure to get the terms in writing.
Sign the agreement and pay the negotiated amount in a timely manner.
To learn more about these tips and others that may assist you on your journey to settle debt with RMP Services,
watch the following interview with a consumer rights attorney who shares the best tips for negotiating debt
settlement with collectors:
The FDCPA is a federal law establishing what debt collectors can,
and cannot, do in their efforts to recover on a debt. For example, the FDCPA states that debt collectors are not
allowed to harass debtors or use any unfair means to collect their debt. Unfortunately, many debt collectors are
notorious for ignoring the rules and regulations outlined in the FDCPA. This is why you need to gain an
understanding of your rights and protections under this federal law.
Making calls to you while at work if your employer does not allow calls during working hours.
Making calls to you at odd hours.
Talking to another person other than your lawyer or spouse about your debt.
Threatening to arrest you if you fail to pay the debt.
Threatening to seize your property if you fail to pay unless they have a warrant.
Using obscene language and threats against you.
Stating a different amount of the debt other than what you owe.
Making any false allegations about the debt.
If RMP LLC violates any of these guidelines, you can use it as evidence in your defense in court within one year.
The violation does not count as evidence after one year.
A successful ruling may have you compensated for damages. If there is no proof of damages, you may be awarded up to
$1,000 and any court and attorney fees reimbursed.
Get every communication with a debt collector in writing
Many debt collection agencies misrepresent information as a tactic to push the debtors into honoring their debts.
Some claims are often made through a phone call.
As a result, it is difficult for a debtor or court to hold debt collectors accountable for undocumented claims. You
must request the collection company to make every claim in writing. FDCPA requires that official communication from
the debt collectors be done through the U.S mail system.
You have a right to ask RMP LLC to mail you an official communication. If they ignore this request, you may be able
to defend yourself in court, citing their lack of response.
The statute of limitations can work in your defense
The statute of limitations is the
period within which a creditor can file a lawsuit for defaulted debt payment. When this time elapses, the debt
collectors are not allowed to file any lawsuits regarding the debt.
Different states have different statute limitations that differ by type of debt and agreement (whether in writing or
verbal).
The statute of limitations period starts to count from the date a debtor defaults payment. If you decide to make a
late payment of the debt or pay after pleading guilty in a lawsuit, the statute of limitation period starts over.
The debt becomes time-barred once the statutory period expires. Even though you know that your debt is time-barred
and you can prove it, it is still a good idea to reply to a lawsuit from RMP LLC regarding your debt.
You will then use evidence of time-barred debt as your defense. If your debt is deemed as time-barred, you can make
one of the following two choices:
Enter a debt settlement agreement with RMP LLCif you wish to be clear of debts.
Pay nothing at all. However, MSC Capital will continue to pursue you for the debt until you stop them by sending
them a letter to end the process.
Respond to a debt lawsuit against Receivables Management Partners, LLC
Follow these three steps to respond to a debt lawsuit against RMP LLC:
Respond to each claim listed in the Complaint document. You can admit, deny, or deny due to a lack of knowledge.
Most attorneys suggest that you deny as many allegations as possible. This makes RMP LLC work harder because
they have to gather all the necessary documentation to prove the debt is actually yours.
Assert your affirmative defenses. These are legal reasons that RMP LLC doesn't have a case against you. A common
affirmative defense to raise in a debt collection lawsuit is the statute of limitations. If the debt is past the
statute of limitations, then RMP LLC has run out of time to sue you for the debt. If this is true, the case will
be dismissed.
File the Answer with the court, and send a copy to RMP LLC. Make sure to file before the deadline, which is
14-35 days, depending on which state you live. Make a copy to send to RMP LLC via USPS-certified mail. You
should also request a return receipt so you can prove that you properly sent the Answer to the opposing party.
