I spoke with Carolyn and it was a pleasure. She was a very kind and professional lady. She took away my worry and set my mind at ease. After we spoke, the ball rolled quickly. In no time, everything happened just as John said in his videos. Here’s what I mean (this was the outcome): my court date didn’t happen, I didn’t pay anything to the debt collector, and their negative remark on my credit report removed.
I had no idea that my outcome was even possible when I was first sued. John Watts is a Godsend and I mean that folks!! He knows his stuff!! My gut was right about him being honest and I am very thankful for him handling my case. If you’ve been sued by a debt collector like I was, there’s no need to look anywhere else. Give John Watts a call and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!
John's office was helpful, informative, and fast! They answered all of my questions and took care of my issues within hours! They were also considerate of the pricing of services. I would gladly work with John Watts any time!
I would like to thank Mr. Watts, Carolyn and the rest of the crew for helping take care of this. If I ever (I hope I don’t have to) go through this again I know I will be calling John again.
We are most interested in hearing how you felt before you met us. So what emotions, concerns, etc. when you were sued.
Then how did you find us and how did that make you feel.
Then when you spoke with us -- how were you treated.
I would recommend them to anyone!!!
Thank you!!!
THANKS
At the end, John was able to get both of my cases dismissed. I am very grateful for everything that this law firm did for me. I would recommend to anyone, who is stressed about a debt lawsuit, to contact Watts & Herring.
I told my co-defendant about Mr. Watts and it was agreed to see if they would represent us. Mr. Watts assistant, Carolyn was cordial, professional and to the point. She arranged a phone conversation and Mr. Watts listened to my side and let me know about my options. None involved bankruptcy and he told me how to fill out the defendant's responses. My co-defendant agreed to be represented by Mr. Watts and the step by step procedure went as planned. It was reassuring that we were informed along the way and Carolyn was usually available to answer any questions I had either that day or the next.
Now that it is over, I am glad that Watts and Herring represented us. Most of my contact was through emails and a few conversations with Carolyn. I would tell anyone not to expect any drama and the only thing that can't be sped up is the wheels of justice. Be patient and let your legal representatives do their job. Watts & Herring did.
If anyone is having to deal with mortgage companies or banks concerning short-sale, Deed-in-Leau, banckruptcy, etc. you need to call Randi at Watts & Herring. This woman knows her stuff, and she will not mislead you. Call her. AAA+++
FILE A RESPONSE TO THE LAWSUIT AND SHOW UP TO COURT! (best advice ever!)
I followed the instructions--- answer the summons, show up to court and be prepared with a definitive response to the claim of debt. I did all of that and the Judge informed the lawyer that I denied owing the debt and now she has to fulfill my Request for Production. The lawyer stated that it was my debt because she had credit card statements. The Judge replied, "we live in a day of identity theft and the defendant has requested that you produce a signed agreement between her and Midland Funding ---can you produce it". The lawyer responded that she believed that she could produce the information. Judge gave us 60 days to return back before him.
The lawyer asked if she could speak with me in the hallway and the judge suggested that I see what she had to say. She asked me did I not received the credit card statements that were sent to me. I stated, "I repeat my answer from court --- I have received everything that your office submitted to circuit court". She replied, than you have everything (I remembered Atty. Watts mentioning to be cautious in your response to the lawyer because they can flip it back on you). I reminded her that the judge asked her office to fulfill my Request for Production and she said that I will have everything in 30 days.
So I will await whatever further documentation that Midland Funding can produce. What's amazing is that Midland Funding is projected to be removed from my credit report September 2018. I cross referenced that with all three credit bureaus and they all notate September 2018.
Atty. Watts, I thank you so very much for everything.
He and Carolyn were very polite and respectful to me. The consultation with John left me with no doubt that I would hire him for this. It was evident on the phone, as in his videos, that he knows his stuff. Immediately after speaking with him over the phone I felt absolutely sure that if anyone could win my case it would be him.
After hiring him it was very simple. I didn't have to drive to meet him anywhere or go out of my way for meetings. Everything was done electronically with him and his office which made the process very easy. Any questions I had were answered with either a phone call or email. Simple.
I am glad and relieved to report that he indeed resolved my case! If you are fortunate enough to have found John, do not hesitate to contact him and do not waste precious time reaching out to other law firms in Alabama who probably aren't interested in taking your case anyway.
Thanks John and Carolyn!

In the first call, Mr. Watts took about 40 minutes out of his own time and answered all of my questions and concerns. With only one, well redacted letter, my problem got solved.
I highly recommend Mr. John Watts and his team for any of your consumer legal needs!
Thank you bery much Mr. Watts. You are part of my AL team!
He is on top of his game
The settlement was favorable and my follow-up questions were answered immediately in plain language. Mr. Watts took a considerable amount of time and care to address all my concerns and confirm that my credit report would properly reflect the sucessful lawsuit resolution.
Thanks to Attorney John Watts for his much needed help. Thanks also to Carolyn Allcorn, Legal Assistant, for her initial help.
My papers were promptly delivered and signed and my case was handled in a very timely fashion. By knowing and understanding what was happening it definitely helped and I knew I was in good hands. Also, being able to sign documents online was a godsend considering its hard for me to get out of the house much.
My case was handled quickly and easily and I would like to thank Mr. Watts, Carolyn and the rest of the crew for helping take care of this and for keeping me informed along the way. I will definitely contact you again if ever I need to resolve another matter.
If you are ever in this situation I urge you to contact Mr. John Watts, you wont regret it!
Once again thank you! thank you! thank you!

John, and his great team, worked with for me, and with me, to resolve my lawsuit in a much better way than I could ever have imagined!
I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the representation I received!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Monday morning rolled around and we figured that perhaps we can try to work this out without legal counsel. I then called the number on the paperwork. The person on the other end (whom I thought represented the TJMAXX Co.)convinced me that I would be out of this mess if I paid them a lump sum or payed a sum monthly for 2 years, and signed a Concent Judgement Form. That was a chance I welcomed if it meant that we would be out from under this pressure. We considered selling my Husband's vehicle to do the settlement but decided against it( his car isn't worth much anyway). Instead, I made the first monthly payment which was money set aside for my 14 year old daughter's Curriculumn for that year. We felt uneasy about the Consent Judgement Form after we did some research on it. My Husband and I placed a stop on the check , but the bank said it had already been processed. We then decided that we will seek legal counsel because clearly, we needed it!
Tuesday morning I got a call from Mr. Watts's Secretary, Carolyn. Just speaking with her, made me feel less anxious, but I was still not completely settled. The following day My Husband and I spoke with Mr. Watts. He took his time and explained the situation and our options. All of our questions were answered and we ended the call with the feeling of having had a black cloud literally lifted from over our heads! Although we are aware that the process is in its infancy, our anxiety level has greatly diminished!
Fast Foward to October 8, 2016:
Around 8:45 that morning we got an email from Mr. Watts stating that we won our case! We were so grateful to God and Mr.Watts and his Staff! One other thing...during the time we were waiting for the case to settle we did not receive anymore threatening comunication from the Company that we were being sued by. This made waiting for our Victory a great deal easier! We recomend Watts & Herring, LLC to all anyone who ever find themselves in such a terrible place as we did.
Sincerly,
Mr. and Mrs. Prewitt
We sought specialized legal counsel and found John via a Google search. The videos that John posts on his website, intrigued us enough to give him a call to discuss our situation. This turned out to be a great decision!
From the first call, John and his staff provided understanding and formulated clear options for a successful resolution. John took personal ownership of the case after the initial call. From that point, there was constant and open communication by phone, text and email. Honestly, John was ALWAYS available to discuss our case. We followed John's advice and the case unfolded just as he said it would. This experience exceeded all of our expectations and turned a bleak situation into a resounding success. We truly believe John was the reason for this outcome. We can't thank John and his staff enough for helping us when we needed it most. We HIGHLY recommend John's team for anyone who needs similar legal help.
Sincerely Yours

Then, I came across Watts & Herring, Consumer Protection Attorneys website and blog and started reading and watching videos that John Watts had posted. I started feeling much more at ease and decided we would try to fight this.
Well, before I had even submitted an answer to the complaint, a process server came again and my husband was being sued for a SECOND lawsuit by the SAME "infamous" DEBT COLLECTOR!! Now we had TWO answers to file. I felt a bit overwhelmed, but felt like I could tackle this. We WERE NOT going to let them win by a default judgment!
I turned in the answers and got notice of court dates. The court dates were exactly a week apart!
I did a lot of research and felt VERY confident on our day in court. I did have some concerns in facing a judge and not knowing what questions may be asked by the plaintiff. However, I came prepared to court, and after speaking with the attorney for the plaintiff for awhile and questioning everything that was his "evidence", he caved. We WON lawsuit number one!
The very next week we went to court for the second lawsuit, very confidently, with our heads held high, and lo and behold...the same attorney was representing the plaintiff! Again, he caved. So, WE WON AGAIN!! We had been sued TWICE by the same "infamous" debt collector and BEAT THEM both times!
Well, I had sent an email to John Watts of Watts & Herring to let him know about our success and to thank him for all of the wonderful information on his website. He congratulated us and suggested we sue the debt collector back in Federal Court. WOW! I had no idea that was an option!
Even though we succeeded in our county small claims court twice on our own, I knew we would need the expertise of John Watts for the Federal Lawsuits; there's no way we could do that on our own.
John explained our options and was very attentive with any of our concerns. He represented us in filing TWO Federal Court Cases against the debt collector that had no right to sue us.
The process went very smoothly for us. John or the knowledgeable staff at Watts & Herring kept us updated regularly throughout the whole process of any kind of progress being made on the lawsuits, and that put my mind at ease instead of worrying and feeling overwhelmed.
Both Federal Court Cases resulted in settlements that we were very pleased with. We could not have been any happier. We truly would like to thank John Watts and the staff of Watts & Herring! We could not have fought those battles alone!
So, for any of you reading this, if you're sued by a debt collector, I highly recommend Watts & Herring! Be SURE to answer any lawsuit within the deadline and do not let them win a default judgement! Try not to be overwhelmed, intimidated, or let it stress you out or give you anxiety. Seek the advice of Watts & Herring. They are very friendly and knowledgable folks and can explain your options. I know you will be pleased!
