Testimonials – Sued By A Debt Collector
When I first received notification from LVNV that they were suing me, I was devastated and did not know where to turn. I was embarrassed and was afraid they would contact my employer.
After many nights of no sleep, I googled “what to do if sued by debt collector” and I immediately found the information John had posted on their website regarding what a debt collector can and cannot do. There is so much information there!
I spoke with John… (Read more)
I found myself being sued by Midland Credit Management, alleging they were the owner of my credit card debt unpaid balance. Being sued is certainly intimidating and worrisome at best. Living in Maine, I contacted attorney after attorney only to find none interested in taking my case in small claims court.
Out of desperation I was forced to defend myself. I researched everywhere and anywhere on the internet, bought books on the subject, contacted online advocates and by the grace… (Read more)

A debt collector was wreaking havoc on my life. First the letters and phone calls, then a judgment and finally they tried garnishment of wages! That’s when I called John.

I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of the settlement. I would recommend John to anyone having trouble with debt… (Read more)

I was in the process of being sued for a debt that I was not responsible for. I consulted an attorney who advised me that regardless of the circumstances I had to pay the debt and that the only thing he could do for me was buy me more time. I was frantic.

My name is John Angwin. Several weeks ago my wife found Mr. John Watts. She called and talked to him. He sounded very receptive.
A couple of weeks ago I came in and met with one of his assistants, Randi Kerr. She was fantastic. When I came in, I didn’t know if there would be light at the end of the tunnel. That afternoon when I left, I knew that there was light at the end of the tunnel.
This… (Read more)

Also, I put the account in their hands and they took care of everything.… (Read more)
Hello, my name is Tim Barnes. Several months ago, I was sued by someone I’ve never heard of. I didn’t know who they were. I was very nervous and scared.
I called John Watts. I went to his office, spoke to him, and he explained what I needed to do. He went to court with me. We won our case. I was extremely happy.
Since that time, I’ve had several other questions. I’ve called and they’ve been always very helpful,… (Read more)
I just won my case with John Watts and Stan Herring.
I found myself being sued by a creditor that said they owned the debt that I’d never heard of and never dealt with. I was searching for some help and I came across their website, probably just like you’re doing now. I thought at first that it was a gimmick or whatever. I had to try something, so I tried.
I can recommend these people more than anything. They… (Read more)

I am one of those that thought I could never stand a chance against the unlawful actions of the biggest violators of law in America. I was just a “consumer” which by corporate definition is a “nobody” that no one cares about.
Talk about being wrong!!!
John and Randi saved my bacon, and the bacon I needed to provide for my family from a very large and obviously well monied collection agency.
I will continue to use him, and consider… (Read more)

Upon entering their office during the Christmas holidays of 2009, I was an emotional wreck. With much worry about losing our house, being harassed by a debt collector, the guilt and shame had just about consumed me. Had dealt with this for 2 years on my own. Had previously used another attorney 2 1/2 yrs ago who took my money and suggested I sell my house. I did not trust attorneys after that and decided self representation was the way… (Read more)
