Dealing with Advantage Assets II LLC in Utah?

Discovering a default judgment or a wage garnishment from Advantage Assets II LLC can be a distressing experience, often coming as a complete surprise. Many individuals facing such situations were never properly informed about the original lawsuit. At Cannon Legal PLLC, we understand the urgency and can help you explore avenues to challenge these actions and protect your financial well-being.

The Legal Reality for Utah Consumers

In Utah, a civil judgment against you holds validity for eight years from its entry date. Creditors, including third-party debt buyers like Advantage Assets II LLC, possess the ability to extend this period indefinitely by filing a timely motion for renewal before the existing term expires. When it comes to collecting on these judgments, Utah law imposes specific limitations on wage garnishment. Generally, a creditor can garnish the lesser of 25% of your disposable earnings or the amount by which your weekly disposable earnings exceed 30 times the federal minimum wage. For private student loans specifically, Utah Code § 70C-7-103 establishes a stricter cap, limiting garnishment to no more than 10% of your disposable earnings.

Ignoring a lawsuit or failing to respond to a summons can lead directly to a default judgment against you, often without your direct knowledge. It is critical to understand that once a judgment is entered, creditors gain significant power to pursue collection actions, including wage garnishments and property liens. Taking timely action is paramount to preserving your rights.

How We Fight Back

At Cannon Legal PLLC, we focus on holding creditors to the strict standards of evidence required by law. We can help you navigate the process through the following targeted services:

• Filing Motions to Vacate Improper Default Judgments: If you were not properly served with the original lawsuit, we can fight to have the default judgment against you set aside, allowing you the opportunity to present your defense in court.
• Negotiating Judgment Settlements: We aim to engage with Advantage Assets II LLC to pursue a resolution that could reduce the total amount owed or establish a manageable payment plan, potentially avoiding further collection efforts.
• Facilitating Title Company Payoffs to Clear Property Liens: When a judgment results in a lien on your real estate, we can assist in coordinating with title companies to ensure the judgment is satisfied and the lien is released, enabling property sales or refinances to proceed smoothly.
