Sometimes the  debt collection defense is legitimate and there is a dispute to paying the past due invoices. Other times collection attorneys find that the defenses asserted our no more than a delay tactic to buy the debtor more time.  In Florida before a case goes to trial, cases must be mediated.

Collection agencies are not licensed to practice law.
