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.
