This article has addressed some, but by no means all, of the defenses that may be available to consumer sued by a creditor. Before a defendant decides to simply settle a lawsuit, or file bankruptcy, or give up on a debt settlement plan, one should at least first consult with an attorney to explore the possibility of defending the lawsuit.
