Debt Collection Contract Terms
Summary
When a debt collection agency purchases your debt, they must adhere to the original contract terms, including interest rates. If discrepancies arise, such as differing interest rates on affidavits, you can address these by contacting the agency, documenting communications, and potentially filing a complaint with the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs. In court, defenses like lack of standing, statute of limitations, and improper documentation can be used. South Carolina generally does not allow wage garnishment for most debts, but collectors may pursue other actions like bank levies or property liens. To dispute inaccuracies, request detailed statements, compare records, and file motions if necessary. If a debt collectors documents are invalid, you can file a motion to dismiss, but they may refile with corrected information.Full Conversation
