Don't ignore Bluebonnet Financial LLC.

Sometimes, debt collectors make mistakes and file invalid claims in order to collect money they think is owed. But regardless of the debt's validity, one thing you should never do is dismiss or ignore a lawsuit.

Even if you are sure you don't owe Bluebonnet Financial LLC any money, always respond to their claim. Otherwise, the court will grant a default judgment, which may hurt your wages, bank account, and property.

  • Your bank account may be frozen, and your funds may be emptied to settle the debt.
  • The court may interfere with the sale of your property.
  • Your possessions may be taken to pay off the debt.

  • Be honest about your debt situation. If you owe other debts, be sure to mention it. Bluebonnet Financial should work with you to settle for an amount that works for all parties involved.
  • Determine how much you can afford, then offer less than that. This will give you room to negotiate before you hit your ceiling. For example, if you owe $5,000 and can afford to pay off $3,500 right away, start with an offer that's less than your maximum amount.
  • Record your conversations with Bluebonnet Financial. This will help you keep track of any agreement that is made and potentially help you keep collectors accountable. Ideally, keep everything in writing.
  • Get the debt settlement agreement in writing. Once you reach a settlement, be sure to document it by having both parties sign the settlement agreement.

In response to a Bluebonnet Financial LLC claim, do the following:

  • Even if you owe them, do not admit the alleged debt. Instead, ask them to provide enough evidence that you are the legal debtor.
  • Ensure you file an Answer through your local Clerk of the Court within the stipulated time frame; missing the deadline warrants a default judgment.

Use these effective defenses in your Answer.

Before the court rules in favor of Bluebonnet Financial LLC, they must prove that you owe the debt and that the amount quoted in the claim is the exact amount owed. Failure to prove this automatically warrants lawsuit dismissal and you will win the case.

Bluebonnet Financial LLC must prove the following:

  • The firm has the right to sue you
  • You are the legal debtor
  • The debt in the lawsuit is the exact amount you owe

Besides, you could use the statute of limitations approach to challenge the claim. If you tell the court that Bluebonnet Financial LLC filed the lawsuit after the statute of limitations had expired, you could win this case.

If the firm sues you after the deadline, you could use this defense against them to win the lawsuit. Also, if your records prove that Bluebonnet Financial LLC filed a Complaint after the expiration of the statute of limitations, you could file a motion to have the judge dismiss the case.

What to do if Bluebonnet Financial LLC takes you to court

If the debt collection company takes you to court, follow these steps:

  • Record all communication you have with the debt collector.
  • Ensure you mail your Answer to Bluebonnet Financial LLC within the stipulated time frame as laid out in the court notice.
  • Challenge the debt collector to prove that you are the legal debtor and that the amount in the claim is the exact amount you owe. If the firm cannot provide viable evidence that this is true, the odds of you winning the lawsuit are high.
  • Prove to the court that Bluebonnet Financial LLC missed the statute of limitations deadline in the lawsuit. The court will dismiss the case if the evidence provided is verified.
