Lebanon, PA asked in Business Law, Civil Litigation, Contracts and Collections for Pennsylvania

Q: What type of lawyer would i need to pursue a suit against a finance company?

My car loan company wrote my loan off as a skip and placed it in collections then a year later (This april) reopened the account without my knowledge and consent and added thousands onto the balance as missed payments. When contacted about it they say they have no knowledge of this but my credit karma account shows orherwise. What can be done about this legally? I feel as though what they did was illegal and a money scam

A: You should contact a Litigation Attorney who is experienced in consumer loans and practices in the county where any lawsuit would be brought. Your county bar association should be able to refer you to an appropriate attorney, if you don’t know of one.
