Why is Zwicker & Associates Contacting me?

Zwicker & Associates is contacting you because they are trying to collect a debt that you owe.   

If Zwicker & Associates is Contacting Me, Does that Mean That They Are Going to Sue Me?

Not necessarily. 

Zwicker & Associates operates as a collection agency, in addition to being a law firm. 

Their “Collection Agency Side” is no different than any other collection agency.  They make collection calls and send dunning letters.  If they are unable to collect the debt with calls and letters, then they might file a lawsuit to collect the debt. 

Pre-Lawsuit Warning Letter

If Zwicker & Associates decides to sue you on the debt, they will mail you a “Demand Letter” or “30-Day Lawsuit Warning Letter.” 

Demand letters generally include the following information and items: 

  • The law firm represents a specific creditor 

  • You owe a debt of a certain amount to that creditor 

  • The law firm is demanding payment of that debt on behalf of the creditor 

  • If you don’t pay the debt in full within 30 days, the law firm will sue you to collect the debt

If you receive a “Demand Letter” from Zwicker & Associates then there is a good chance that they are going to sue you on the debt. 

What Should I Do If I Receive a Demand Letter from Zwicker & Associates?

  • You can call them and try to settle before they file a lawsuit.

  • Or you can wait and see if they sue you and then deal with the lawsuit.

What Should I Do If I get Sued by Zwicker & Associates?

Receiving a lawsuit notice from Zwicker & Associates can be overwhelming, but taking immediate action is crucial to protect your rights. Knowing the steps to take can help you manage the situation effectively and possibly avoid further complications.  

Here are the key actions you should consider upon receiving a debt collection lawsuit notice from Zwicker & Associates: 

Contact a Debt Attorney 

Consulting a debt attorney should be a priority. An experienced Texas debt attorney can provide invaluable guidance, help you understand your legal options, and develop a strategy tailored to your situation.  

Your Texas debt attorney can also represent you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected throughout the legal process. 

Review The Lawsuit Documents 

With the help of your debt defense attorney, thoroughly review the lawsuit documents. Carefully examine the details outlined, including the amount claimed, the reasons for the lawsuit, and any deadlines for responding.  

Understanding the specifics of the claim against you will enable you to formulate a more effective response and identify any potential errors or discrepancies that could be in your favor. 

Make Sure You Respond to the Lawsuit on Time 

Timeliness is critical when dealing with any lawsuit. Failing to respond within the designated timeframe can result in a default judgment against you, granting Zwicker & Associates the ability to enforce the debt through bank account garnishments or other means.
