A Marked Uptick in Collection Efforts by Nextgear Capital after Judgments

 Though Nextgear Capital hasn't been filing quite as many lawsuits since Covid hit, it looks like they have stepped up their efforts at collecting after judgment.  Many people have called us and told us they have received numerous telephone calls from Nextgear's in-house debt collectors.  Because these are business collection accounts, and not consumer collection accounts, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not apply to these calls.  Nextgear has also been filing their Indiana judgments in the states where the debtor lives to take advantage of wage garnishments and other allowed collection actions in the debtor's state.  Don't panic if you get these calls. We have found Nextgear open to dealing on judgment debts. I urge you to call us to talk to us about how we can help you negotiate a reduced debt with Nextgear.  

After 8 Years A New Identity - The Beginning of Hofer Hagan LLP, the end of Consumer Law Office of Steve Hofer

 As of today, I am ending my practice under the name Consumer Law Office of Steve Hofer, BUT I have joined up with attorney Keith Hagan, and we have formed a new firm, Hofer Hagan LLP.  Other than the new name, not much is changing. Keith and I have been doing most of our cases together for a few years now. We are going to be trying out a few different website looks, but the practice will stay mostly the same.  Right now, we don't even have new phone numbers.
