Who does Velocity Investments collect for?
Velocity Investments, LLC is a debt collection agency that purchases delinquent consumer debts. Some examples of companies whose debt Velocity Investments has purchased include LendingClub Corporation (Webbank), Upstart Network (Cross River Bank), Prosper Funding (WebBank), and Upgrade (WebBank). By acquiring debt from these companies, Velocity Investments aims to recover outstanding balances by taking legal action against consumers. It is important for consumers who find themselves facing a lawsuit from Velocity Investments to seek the assistance of experienced legal counsel, such as Paramount Law, to navigate through the complexities of the legal process and protect their rights.
Does Velocity Investments actually sue?
There is a common misconception that debt collectors do not file lawsuits. However, Velocity Investments, like other debt collection agencies, absolutely sues consumers to collect outstanding debts. It is important to take a lawsuit from Velocity Investments seriously, regardless of whether you believe you owe the debt or suspect an error. Failing to respond to a lawsuit can have severe consequences.
How to Respond to a Velocity Investements Lawsuit:
Upon receiving a Summons and Complaint from Velocity Investments, the first step to protect your rights is to file a written Answer with the court. This response, known as an Answer, allows you to address the claims made against you in the Complaint. Failure to respond may enable Velocity Investments to file a motion for a default judgment, granting them further rights to collect the debt, such as wage garnishment, bank account seizure, or the collection of attorney’s fees and court costs.
However, while consumers have the right to file an Answer to a lawsuit on their own, it is a highly risky process. Debt collection law firms representing Velocity Investments are well-prepared to deal with pro se consumers and often swiftly file a motion for summary judgment, upping the ante and the complexity. Without the guidance and expertise of an attorney, consumers may find themselves at a significant disadvantage in navigating the legal complexities of the case. Moreover, the longer a consumer waits to engage legal counsel, the more expensive it becomes for an attorney to “clean up the mess.” Depending on previous court orders, it may even be impossible for an attorney to help. Hiring an experienced law firm, such as Paramount Law, early in the process is essential to protect consumer rights and ensure a strong defense strategy is in place from the start.
Velocity Investments, as a debt collector, has the authority to report collection accounts to credit bureaus.
