Do you know what to do in this situation? Most people don't have a clue, in actuality; most people ignore the paperwork that they get served to go to court. This is a big mistake because believe it or not, you can handle it with communication. Attorneys are people too, they just went to school longer than most of us. Giving them a call, right after you get served and working out something with them, will help you in the long run. If they get aggressive or angry, remain calm, they are only trying to make you upset, and believe it or not, it will work only if you let it.
If you got sued because you didn’t have the money to pay a bill, then obviously in most cases you won’t have the money to pay the account in full, but you can work out something with the law firm that is favorable to you and the company you owe. Remember, a law firm is a third party and not the original creditor, they are just working on somebody else’s behalf.
Here are some helpful hints on how to communicate with a law firm:
1. Breathe
2. Don’t get angry, no matter what happens
3. Figure out the amount you want to pay a head of time and stick to it
4. Be persistent and get what YOU want
5. Be truthful and never lie
I know these seem like silly hints, but under everything that you do are these simple tools that you can use to better your life.
