It is Portfolio Recovery and they don't mess around. If your debt is over $500 they'll court order $ out of your checking account that u never gave them info on. Since it's a court order your basically screwed. I mever even spoke with them and they took over a grand out of my acct leaving me in the negative. Oh and the fee for any bank to process it is $80. I despise Portfolio Recovery!!!!!!
So you ignored a court summons? They cannot get a court order without you being served. But if you fail to appear, they can get a default judgment. Then they have to go back to court and get the order to take money from your account and you will be notified before monies are taken. Something does not add up here. *Sniff sniff* Do I smell a shill?
"they'll court order $ out of your checking account" They can't simply go to court and order money. They have to properly serve you Then you either ignore the summons for the hearing and they win by default, or you go to court and lose. Which would be an impossibility if you had a good lawyer because they probably don't have chain of title and your lawyer should be counter suing them for FDCPA violations.
Bottom feeder junk debt collector. No, they cannot simply sweep your checking account for any amount without a court ordered judgment against you and they will garnish your wages first. Ignore Ignore Ignore. If you are not properly served they cannot do diddly squat.
