Writes and edits PayoffPath. Not a lawyer, not a credit counsellor and not a financial adviser: the work here is reading the primary sources - the U.S. Courts statistics tables and the official bankruptcy forms, the CFPB, the FTC, the eCFR and the Federal Reserve - checking the date on every figure, and setting it out in plain English. There is no professional review behind these articles, and the site says so rather than implying a credential it does not have: where a decision turns on your own circumstances, the page points you to the court, the agency or the attorney that can answer it.

Answer before the deadline on the summons. Plus who the plaintiff usually is: the four firms drawing the most federal collection complaints are all debt buyers.
