In most cases, no. The majority of telecom debt issues are resolved through negotiation or dismissal before a trial is necessary. If a court appearance is required, our attorneys can often appear on your behalf.
Identity theft and billing errors are rampant in the telecom industry. We can force the collector to “validate” the debt, proving it is actually yours and the amount is correct. If they can’t prove it, they can’t collect it.
This is a very common issue. We can help you dispute these invalid charges by demanding the provider produce proof of the debt and accounting for returned equipment.

In many cases, a federal 2-year statute of limitations may apply to certain telecom debts, while other states allow up to 4 years (like Texas) or more. We can determine if your debt is too old to be legally collected.
