This is not what you said yesterday?
It seems there might have been some confusion. Let me clarify the requirements for debt purchasers in Montana:
- They must provide sufficient evidence to prove the debt is valid.
- This evidence can include:
- A copy of the original contract or account statement.
- Proof of the chain of ownership of the debt.
- Documentation of the amount owed.
Do you need further details on any of these points?
The only thing they need is documentation of the amount owed. I know this because I lost my case and argument today. If I had known this, I would not have wasted all my time and effort preparing and just let it default.
I'm really sorry to hear about the outcome of your case. If you need further assistance or have any other legal questions, feel free to ask. Is there a specific aspect of the case or the process that you need more information on?
I will never take legal advice from this chat again.
