Collectors Often Win FDCPA Cases Without Going to Court

Most lawsuits claiming violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) are resolved without a court ruling on the merits. Further, debt collectors win a surprising number of these out-of-court resolutions, obtaining dismissals of the cases without paying anything to settle.

In the latest episode of ARM industry legal podcast The Debt Collection Drill, defense attorneys John Rossman and Mike Poncin discuss specific strategies debt collectors use to prevail without going to court, including public records investigations of the plaintiff, negotiations with opposing counsel, and examining the actions of the plaintiff during the debt collection process.
