THE PLAYERS IN DEBT COLLECTION
The following are the major players in credit card collection lawsuits in California.
Not included are collection agencies which do not own debt but merely collect for
clients; credit unions, and smaller debt buyers. The list is divided into three
categories:
Credit
Card Issuers
[Original
Creditors]
Many former major credit card issuers have folded or been taken over by larger banks.
Only those I have seen recently as California plaintiffs or as assignors of debt
to debt buyers are listed.

*
Bank of America often files lawsuit through its subsidiary corporation FIA Card Services,
which also services its credit card payments.
**
A Georgia law firm that buys debt and also collects debt, but cannot file suit in
California due to lack of membership in the State Bar - calls and letters only from
this firm.
*** Located in VIrgina, but have Attorneys admitted to California Bar, so they may
file suit here. Also have a one-attorney satellite office in San Diego
**** Zwicker;s Main Office is in N. Andover, MA. from where Zwicker handles settlement
negotiations using non-attorney collectors in lawsuits filed by its California offices
What is a debt buyer and why should I care?
Debt buyers pay pennies on the dollar to buy thousands of defaulted credit card
accounts at a time.
You care because the sheer volume of these transactions prevents Debt Buyers from
proving in court that they own your specific account; and, therefore, that they
have the right to collect from you. As a result, when challenged, they will typically settle for much
less money than the original credit card banks, or even dismiss the case outright.
If you've been sued by a debt buyer, call now to discuss your options:
