Hello all, i am lost and in desperate need of help. I am very uneducated when it comes to law. I had a unsecured personal loan of $10k from Prosper which i paid for for first 8 months then financial crisis hit and couldn't make payments. Stupid of me. Anyways prosper then sold the debt to Velocity Investment LLC after few months of being delinquent. It was $8295 I contacted velocity to try to negotiate but velocity did not want to negotiate. I was still trying to negotiate with them but that time i had some family emergency and had to stop everything. Today in the email i received a letter which i am going to paste below. " Re: Debt owed by XXXXXXXXXXXXX for a Prosper Funding LLC account number *6686 ] now assigned to VELOCITY INVESTMENTS, LLC Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXX: Please be advised that this firm has been retained to represent VELOCITY INVESTMENTS LLC, the assignee of the above referenced debt. Account balance (as of the date of this letter): $8,295.29 Unless, within thirty days after receipt of this notice, you dispute the validity of the debt or any portion thereof, we will assume the debt to be valid.

I still can't make the payment of $8k.

My father passed away in February 2016 and had a loan with Prosper. I notified them and sent a death certificate for which they stopped the automatic withdrawals. I haven't heard from them since however they keep on adding interest and there is a penalty charge. I am not sure if they will write off, contact me for a settlement, etc. I do have enough in the estate to pay off but would prefer to pay my sons student loans if need be. Any advise ?

I am being sued by Velocity Investments, LLC in the State of Ohio. I have attached a redacted copy of the complaint for which I sent a Response and was assigned a Pre-trial date that is this upcoming Monday. Wonder if there are any good defenses that I can use for this case. Thank you for any help you can give me. Velocity Complaint.pdf
