How We Help
We help consumers facing unsecured debt—such as credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, collections, charge-offs, debt lawsuits, and inaccurate accounts—by protecting their rights and explaining their legal options. We begin with a careful, confidential legal review to identify issues, address unfair practices, and help you make informed decisions before paying or settling any debt.
Our role is to help identify when those rights may apply and connect individuals with qualified legal professionals when appropriate.
Credit card debt issues
Credit card debt is one of the most common reasons consumers are contacted by collection agencies or sued. These accounts are often sold to third parties after charge-off, creating confusion around ownership, balances, and enforcement rights.
Collectors must be able to prove that a debt is valid, accurate, and legally collectible.
What to Watch For:
Collectors who cannot provide proper debt validation
Incorrect balances or interest calculations
Account sold multiple times with inconsistent records
Lawsuits filed without original creditor documentation
When documentation is missing or inaccurate, legal defenses may exist.
Medical debt concerns
Medical debt is uniquely complex. Billing errors, insurance disputes, and delayed notices are common — yet medical accounts are still frequently sent to collections.
Consumers are often contacted about medical debts they never fully understood or were never properly billed for.
What to Watch For:
Bills that were never received or explained
Insurance payments not properly applied
Duplicate charges or services
Medical collections appearing on credit reports unexpectedly
Medical debt is subject to specific consumer protections, and not all medical collections are enforceable.

personal loans & unsecured debt
Personal loans, installment loans, and lines of credit are often transferred or sold after default. This can result in multiple parties attempting to collect on the same account.
Ownership and documentation matter — and not every collector has legal standing.
What to Watch For:
Conflicting notices from different collectors
Inability to clearly identify the current creditor
Missing or incomplete loan agreements
Demands for payment without proof of ownership
Before paying or settling, it’s important to understand who actually owns the debt and whether it can be enforced.
debt lawsuits
Being sued over a debt can feel overwhelming, but ignoring a lawsuit can lead to serious consequences, including default judgments.
Purple Judge helps consumers understand their options when legal action has already begun.
What to Watch For:
Lawsuits filed with minimal documentation
Incorrect amounts listed in court filings
Failure to properly serve legal papers
Short response deadlines that create pressure
Early legal review can make a significant difference when court action is involved.

Credit reporting issues
Credit reports are often treated as fact — but errors are more common than most people realize. Inaccurate reporting can impact housing, employment, and borrowing ability.
Consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate or unverifiable information.
What to Watch For:
Accounts that don't belong to you
Duplicate or outdated debts
Incorrect balances or dates
Collections reported without proper validation
Correcting errors often starts with understanding your rights under consumer law.
enforcement & consumer protection
Debt collectors are required to follow strict rules under federal consumer protection laws. When those rules are violated, consumers may have legal protections.
Harassment and unfair practices are not allowed — regardless of the debt.
Unfair or Abusive Practices May Include:
Excessive or repeated phone calls
Threatening or misleading language
Contacting family members, employers, or third parties
Misrepresenting the legal status of a debt
Failing to provide required written notices
No one should feel intimidated or pressured into payment.
