Watch-Outs

Common traps that blow up DIY cases

Don't make a partial payment on a time-barred debt — it can restart the SOL. Don't admit the debt in writing. Don't ignore a lawsuit (default judgment). Don't dispute frivolously (CRAs can mark requests as 'irrelevant'). Don't miss the 30-day validation window.
