While working a recent case for a client, the creditor's attorney (with whom I have dealt many times) informed me he was also pursuing another debt against my client for a different creditor. He asked if I was also going to work that case and emailed me the information.
After a quick consultation with my client, I was retained to work the new case as well. Fortunately, the attorney had not yet filed suit on this new case and we were able to agree upon a settlement amount without needing to take court filing costs into account.
You never know where new business will come from and a referral from a creditor's attorney is rare! Even though I always ask my clients if they have any other problem debts they want me to work, they often wait until a lawsuit has been filed to hire me. Catching these cases early can usually result in more favorable settlement terms for my clients.
