PayCutHurtMe Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Asset sued me in April and ended up withdrawing the complaints. Their attorneys, Fulton, Friedman and Gullace, did hard pulls in March and again in April, 6 days before filing. I know Asset would have PP, but does that extend to their attorneys?

VADebtor Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I think because the Attorney represents the firm with PP, they can argue PP. Now I do think this is abusive because the PP the debt holder (Asset) has is for "account management" not an extension of new credit, and it should be properly coded as such, which would make it a soft pull. I don't know this for sure, or that you can win the argument but thought I'd throw it out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
