Why is Velocity Investments suing me?

"Velocity Investments files so many lawsuits for one reason: it wants to profit off bad debts."

When consumer debt becomes severely delinquent, creditors often charge-off the account. Sometimes, they try to collect the account themselves. Other times, they sell the account to a third-party “debt buyer.”

Velocity Investments is one of the “debt buyers” that purchases delinquent consumer accounts. Velocity buys loans from Prosper Funding  LendingClub  OneMain Financial, Upgrade, and various other lenders.

Debt buyers like Velocity usually purchase old debt at steep discounts. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) stated debt buyers paid 4 cents on the dollar for old debt and the Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) stated one debt buyer paid 3 cents on the dollar for old debt. After Velocity buys debt at deep discounts, it attempts to collect debt for profit. 

In Pennsylvania, Velocity Investments sues hundreds of people each year. Throughout the whole United States, debt buyers like Velocity file hundreds of thousands of lawsuits each year. Velocity Investments files so many lawsuits for one reason: it wants to profit off bad debts.

Can I ignore a Velocity lawsuit?

You probably shouldn’t ignore a Velocity Investments lawsuit. If you do, a default judgment may be entered against you. A “default judgment” is a court order that you owe the debt Velocity claims you owe. After such a judgment is entered, debt collectors can seize property and garnish bank accounts.

Some people ignore collection lawsuits because they think they don’t owe the debt or already paid it, or because they think the debt is too old. Don’t do this. Court’s won’t analyze a lawsuit to make sure it’s not defective. If you ignore a Velocity lawsuit, they may win without even showing up. Then, you’ll owe a debt you shouldn’t owe.
