What pushes a debt collector to sue?

There are a lot of signs that a debt collector looks for, to help them figure out if suing is the best option for them. Here are some things to look for when trying to figure out if Credence Resource Management may sue: 

  1. Do you have investment accounts, checking, or savings accounts with Credence Resource Management that you owe?
  2. What is the total amount of accounts that you are past due on? There may be a higher chance of being sued if you have a large amount of accounts past due.
  3. There have been lawsuits done for under $2000 owed, but most of the time the creditor would do a cost-benefit analysis to see if it’s worth it.
