Going to send out a DV letter today? Here is the thing, I do not want this on my credit report. Should I hire an attorney for this amount of money. I have one available to me, who loves fighting these types of cases. After I send the DV what is the next step? if they do decide to sue me, how long before they decide on that.

Ok will do. Should I have him send the DV alone, or should we both send a DV? I want to try to stay as far away as possible so they don't see me as a potential target, and come after me. My brother has already called them and said he would take care of it, but I am just worried they will still come after me because I look better on paper and have great credit. I'm mostly concerend they will dump this on my credit.

I'm not sure when the default was, from talking to my sibling, I gather sometime late 2013/or early 2014. My first option is to get my brother to settle so it doesnt fall on me, but at the same time, I don't want him to get screwd by this colledtion firm/attorney, and pay the money if they cant prove that they actually have the right to collect from him. There is no question that he owes the money, he will pay. I just want to make sure I dont get screwed.

It was a private loan , I don't think they have filed anything yet; however, they have checked my credit report then decided to call me 2 weeks later. I called the loan company and they said that they didn't sell it, but they transfered it to Jaffe and Asher? So, I don't know why a different comapny in California is contacting me?

I came across this site while searching for answers to my problem. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Yesterday I got a call from an attorney's office, looking to collect on a debt that I knew nothing about. Turns out it is for a family member who I cosigned a student loan with a few years ago. They defaulted (unknowing) to me, so this attorney company is looking to collect from me. They told me that I was responsible for it now that the other person didn't pay. This particular loan isn't on my credit report, but, under the law, am I legally responsible for it? W
