Can I dispute a debt in court?

Yes, you can dispute a debt in court in Nevada. Consumer Debt Defense Law protects you from being sued for an invalid or inaccurate debt. If you believe that a debt collector is trying to collect on a debt that is inaccurate or invalid, you can dispute the debt in court by filing what is known as a “motion to dismiss.” Your motion must include a statement of your dispute and the specific legal grounds for the defense. If the court rules in your favor, the debt collector will have to prove that the debt is valid and accurate in court. The burden of proof is on the debt collector, not on you. If the debt collector fails to prove the debt is valid and accurate, the court will issue a judgment in your favor and the debt collector will be prohibited from pursuing the debt. If the court rules in favor of the debt collector, you can still dispute the debt in court by filing an appeal. You will need to provide the court with evidence in support of your claim that the debt is inaccurate or invalid. Depending on the specific facts and circumstances of your dispute, the court may rule in your favor on your appeal and the debt collector will be prohibited from pursuing the debt. Ultimately, Consumer Debt Defense Law allows you to dispute and protect yourself against an invalid or inaccurate debt in court in Nevada.
