I remember growing up my dad bought a big package of pennies on the dollar debt, thinking it was easy money. Turns out it is pretty easy to tell a debt collector to gently caress off and your only recourse is to take them to court. So not really worth it unless you have the time or resources to pay someone harass the debtors into compliance by calling five times a day.

At that point you talk directly to the agency and make an offer to settle directly, or more likely get an attorney to handle it so it's properly discharged.

You need a license to buy the debt. I don't know if there are any rules regarding buying your own debt as a debt collector, but thay would be commical.

Depending on where you live, you may qualify for Legal Aid.

Where do you go for legal aid? Asking for a friend/when I eventually gently caress up and need it.

The local Bar association itself may give legal aid and lawyer referrals. Individual lawyers might have policies as well.

Sure you can. That's why they gave me the new deluxe ezio DeWalt edition. For when someone really pisses you off, insert a needle into their leg the size of a nail and flush it to ensure the person is truly (dead).

WithoutTheFezOn posted:If you had funds to buy your own debt … Debt collectors buy debt for pennies on the dollar. Lets say you had a huge student loan and you don't have the funds to pay it off. It gets sold to another loan company for half of its total value. Maybe you could afford that, maybe you couldn't, but you should be able to buy it at that price before anyone else. kw0134 posted:Presumably you'd be "buying" or rather settling the debt for the amount they're willing to write off for, which is often pennies on the dollar as was the case when Toledo, OH purchased $220 million in nominal medical debt for about $1.6m (with the aid of the county commissioners). But laws aren't written for the benefit of the debtors. Yeah exactly

Opening Arguments did an episode about this and said that at least it's good that the state bars are finally doing something about piece of poo poo lawyers like Pattis and Giuliani. Also thanks to Knowledge Fight I'm listening to Opening Arguments.

The suspension is still kind of a big deal. Yes he can practice law again in the future but any clients he was representing in other cases, or he was just doing standard low-key attorney stuff for, cannot use him. He basically has to send them all a notice saying "It's illegal for me to work now and you have to find a new lawyer." It's an immediate stop to his income and will have to shutter his doors for half a year. Even if he doesn't quit the law profession he's going to have to rebuild clients from scratch unless there's some serious personal loyalty (which let's be honest, can you see any client being loyal to Norm?), all with a massive asterisk next to his business that will drive at least some clients away.

Opening Arguments went through what this meant, and from what I remember, he has to specifically mention it to any clients he picks up after or firms he works with. And if he decides to move to another state to practice law, that state's bar association can straight-up deny his application to practice law in their state for that reason.

In FL they give lawyers whose tickets have been punched 30 days or so to help clients transition to new attorneys and get continuances as needed. Once they've got everything squared away, they notify the bar and their suspension begins.
