Providing Defense Against Debt Collection Lawsuits
Debt collection lawsuits are filed all the time. All too many people let a lawsuit move forward against them without responding. They think that there is nothing they can do. They don't think they can fight back.
If you are being sued for a debt, you may have options. We can help you understand them. We are the law firm of DiCesare, Davidson & Barker. Our attorneys have the experience to provide strong debt collection defense representation. Each of the partners at our firm possesses no less than 20 years of experience. We are willing and able to go to trial to help our clients.
Fighting Back to Help You Overcome Your Debt
Our attorneys can defend people in Lakeland, Haines City and throughout Central Florida in any debt collection litigation. The first step we will take is to determine whether the lawsuit has been filed against you in error. All too often, people are sued because of debts owed by people with similar names. Other people are sued for debts that have been paid or resolved in some other manner, such as bankruptcy.
Our next step will be to make sure they even have a case against you. They are required to prove that you owe a debt. That is not always as easy as it seems. We will explore all options for elimination of debt.

Suing the Debt Collectors
When we assemble a debt collection defense strategy for a client, we frequently discover that the debt collector has violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) or the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA) along the way. When this happens, we are prepared to file a lawsuit against them.
Another option that can prove valuable in fending off debt collection lawsuits is bankruptcy. When Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy is filed, all collection actions must stop, including lawsuits.
