If you are being sued, you will always receive a summons. Sometimes it is delivered by a process server sometimes by registered mail. A collection agency telling you, you are being sued, does not necessarily make it fact. Only attorneys can file suit and they have to adhere to the state laws where the person resides. A collection agency cannot sue you regardless of what they claim. Sorry, I should add you need to be aware of the difference in collection agency and collection attorney. For instance Mann-Bracken LLC, are collection attorneys and/or arbitrators. They can initiate a lawsuit.

How do you get lawsuit funding?

Depending on the circumstances of your lawsuit and the type of lawsuit, there are various options that you may qualify for. Most litigation funding companies offer non-recourse lawsuit loans for a pending or settled lawsuit. A non-recourse lawsuit advance is a loan that only needs to be repaid if you win or settle your lawsuit otherwise nothing is owed to the funding company. To qualify for lawsuit loans no credit or employment is required, so long as you have a lawsuit. Obtaining a lawsuit loan for your lawsuit is as simple as picking up the phone and applying.


Is a new owner responsible for a pending lawsuit that was incurred by the previous owners?

Not enough information: owner of what? Lawsuit about what?For example: If you're the new owner of a building that has violated some ordinance, then yes, you will probably be responsible. If it's a personal claim against the previous owner of property for some accident liability, then no, you are not responsible for what happened before. On the other hand, there may be a lien on the property because of the lawsuit filed, or you could have purchased an entire business with all of its assets AND LIABILITIES in gross, and good luck with that.
