So this debt wasn't sold to debt collectors is what you're saying?
Correct. Often, they prefer to sell off the bad debt and write off the loss. In this case, they are using the legal option.
Fighting and winning costs attorney fees. Most attorneys in these types of cases want payment up front.
Fighting and losing costs attorney fees and a judgement.
The attorney could easily cost more than the debt.
Simplest is to have the attorney try to negotiate a settlement and avoid court.
