Why You Should Answer a Lawsuit Immediately

When you are served a summons by Midland Funding, the worst thing you can do is ignore the lawsuit. Midland Funding WANTS you to ignore the lawsuit, because it allows them to go back to the court, and when you don't show up they can ask for a default judgment against you. This means you lose without a fight.

A default judgment allows them to proceed to seize funds from your bank account and garnish your wages, amongst other things. Since they buy your debt for pennies of what it's really worth, any money they get, before you get the default judgment overturned, usually means a hefty profit for them.
