Our Credit Card Debt Defense Services

My Affordable Attorney is a boutique Florida law firm focused on providing strong legal guidance to people and families who need help the most. We do not represent large credit card companies or aggressive debt collectors. When creditors or collection agencies pursue payment through lawsuits, it is important to have experienced counsel on your side. We help you understand your rights and evaluate your options.

Our services include:

• Debt Validation and Verification: We review the creditor’s claims and documentation to confirm that the debt is valid and properly assigned. This review helps identify errors or gaps in proof that may exist in the creditor’s file. Our attorneys analyze the creditor’s records, including account statements, assignments, and payment history. If the creditor cannot produce adequate documentation, we may be able to defeat or substantially weaken the claim. In some matters, this approach prevents a judgment from being entered based on incomplete or inaccurate evidence.
• Defense Against Collection Lawsuits: If you are sued for credit card debt, we challenge the creditor’s evidence and examine whether the correct legal procedures have been followed. Our goal is to seek dismissal of improper cases or to negotiate a favorable resolution when appropriate. We evaluate the legal standing of the party that filed suit and confirm that it has the right to collect the debt. In Florida, many cases are dismissed because of procedural errors, lack of standing, or expired statutes of limitations. Our Daytona Beach credit card defense lawyers prepare careful, strategic responses at each stage of the litigation and are committed to defending your rights in and out of court.
• Protection Under Consumer Laws: Your rights as a consumer are important. We rely on Florida law, including the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act, and federal law, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, to protect you from abusive or illegal collection tactics. We review collection communications and practices for potential violations. When collectors overstep legal boundaries, we pursue appropriate remedies on your behalf, including potential counterclaims.
• Negotiation and Settlement: When settlement is in your best interest, we negotiate with creditors to reduce balances or arrange manageable payment plans. Before negotiations begin, we assess your financial circumstances, including income, assets, and other obligations. We then communicate directly with creditors or their attorneys to pursue reduced balances or favorable terms. The goal is to resolve your debt without unnecessary litigation or hardship. Every negotiation is guided by your long-term financial interests and by our commitment to keeping as much money in your pocket as possible.

What to Know About the Credit Card Debt Settlement Process

Settling credit card debt can be an effective way to resolve what you owe without a trial. In many situations, it is the most practical path, but it must be approached carefully. Credit card companies and debt collectors are not neutral. Their objective is to collect as much as possible. You should understand your rights before you speak with them. A thoughtful strategy can make a large difference. In some cases, it is possible to resolve a claim for a fraction of the amount demanded.

Here are three key points about the credit card debt settlement process in Florida:

• Every Negotiation is Unique: Creditors and debt buyers differ in what they are willing to accept. Offers depend on the age of the debt, your financial situation, whether a lawsuit has been filed, and the strength of the creditor’s documentation.
• The Terms Must Be Clear and in Writing: Any settlement agreement should be memorialized in writing and should state the exact amount to be paid, the payment schedule, and how the creditor will report the account to credit reporting agencies, including whether it will be reported as “paid in full” or “settled.” Clear terms help prevent later disputes.
• You Have a Right to Lawyer: You are not required to negotiate with creditors alone. A Daytona Beach credit card defense lawyer can review your situation, explain your options, and help you develop a negotiation strategy that protects your interests.
