Summary: Sued by Equable Ascent Financial? Here's how to respond fast and win your case with SoloSuit.

Do you have any idea what you would do if you were being sued? It happens every day. But if it were to happen to you, what steps would you take? Know that our legal system affords you basic legal rights in this process. But what if you are sued by a company that is no longer in business?

We realize that being served with a summons and being named in a lawsuit can be a disturbing event. The key is keeping your wits about you. You see, time is of the essence. What is the best way to settle the lien with Equable Ascent Financial since they've gone out of business?

Where to start? Your job now is to arm yourself with as much information about Equable Ascent Financial LLC as you can. The fact that they are no longer in business just makes it that much more difficult.

Who was Equable Ascent Financial LLC?

Equable Ascent Financial LLC was a debt buyer located in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and was a Delaware corporation. Aggressive in the pursuit of the debt they purchased, they filed many lawsuits in attempts to collect account balances or secure default judgments.

As a debt buyer, Equable Ascent Financial was not the original creditor. If they secured a judgment against you they may have placed a lien on any personal property you may own. Should this be the case you can structure a legal strategy to file a motion to avoid judicial lien to put an end to your case. Working on this strategy is paramount.

File a response with SoloSuit and win your case.

Because debt buyers buy older debt that, in most cases, was already charged off, the likelihood of obtaining original debt paperwork is slim. So, consumers should understand that while it may seem like an uphill climb, gathering information about their particular situation is critically important.

So, because they purchased an account that was charged off, the chance is very good that the consumer hasn't been contacted in some time. If in addition to that, you might have ignored a summons or didn't realize that Equable Ascent filed a Complaint against you.

That could very well be the reason you may have not been aware that Equable Ascent secured a judgment. Since Equable is no longer in business, they may have sold the judgment. Much like the companies they once bought from, Equable Ascent Financial could very well have sold the judgment they secured to another debt buyer.

This new debt buyer can then take actions to attempt to collect on the judgment or may have already done so. If that is the situation, then the owner of the judgment can now take the following actions against you:

Don't let this happen to you!
