Start Your Answer NowWhy Cach LLC Is Suing You Over an Unpaid Debt
You’ve never heard of Cach LLC before. You never took out a loan from them. So why are they contacting you?
Cach LLC is a debt buyer. They purchase unpaid debts from creditors for pennies on the dollar. Then they try to collect the full amount from you. When you pay, they profit big.
The debt might be from a credit card, medical bill, or old loan. Cach LLC bought it from the original creditor. Now they’re coming after you for the money.
Don’t panic. You can fight back against these collection attempts.
How to Respond to a Cach LLC Lawsuit
A debt collection lawsuit starts when Cach LLC files a Complaint against you. The Complaint claims you owe a specific amount plus interest, fees, and court costs.
A process server will deliver the Complaint and court summons to you. You typically have 14 to 30 days to respond. Check your summons for the exact deadline.
You must file an Answer to the Complaint. Your Answer is your formal response to the court.
Ignoring the lawsuit is the worst thing you can do. If you don’t respond, Cach LLC will request a default judgment. The court will likely grant it.
A default judgment gives Cach LLC power to:
- Freeze your bank account
- Garnish your wages
- Place a lien on your property
Don’t let this happen. Respond to the lawsuit within the deadline. Our partner Solo can help you draft and file your Answer quickly.
What to Include in Your Answer
Your Answer should respond to each allegation in the Complaint. You can admit, deny, or state you lack knowledge about each claim.
Most importantly, your Answer should include affirmative defenses. These are legal reasons why you shouldn’t be held liable.
Common Affirmative Defenses Against Cach LLC
Cach LLC must prove you owe the debt. They carry the burden of proof. You can challenge their evidence and poke holes in their case.
Demand that Cach LLC prove:
- You are the person responsible for the debt
- They have legal standing to sue you
- You owe the exact amount they claim
- The debt isn’t past the statute of limitations
Debt buyers often lack proper documentation. They may not have your original contract or account statements.
The Statute of Limitations Defense
Every state has a statute of limitations on debt collection. The timeframe varies by state and debt type. Most range from three to six years.
If Cach LLC filed suit after the statute of limitations expired, you can get the case dismissed. Check when you last made a payment on the debt. Count forward based on your state’s statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations defense is powerful. Many debt buyers wait years before suing. By then, the debt might be time-barred.
Lack of Standing
Cach LLC must prove they own your debt. They need documentation showing the debt was legally transferred to them.
Many debt buyers can’t produce this proof. They might only have a spreadsheet listing debts they purchased. That’s not enough to win in court.
Demand that Cach LLC provide the chain of title. Make them show how the debt passed from the original creditor to them.
Incorrect Amount
Challenge the amount Cach LLC claims you owe. They often add excessive fees and interest. Some charges might not be legally allowable.
Request an itemized accounting of the debt. Ask them to show how they calculated the total amount.
How to Settle Your Debt With Cach LLC
Settlement can help you avoid court entirely. You negotiate to pay less than the full amount. In return, Cach LLC drops the lawsuit.
Debt buyers typically purchase debts for 10 to 20 cents on the dollar. They have room to negotiate. Offering 40 to 60 percent of the balance might get you a settlement.
Settlement works best if you have cash available. You’ll need to make a lump-sum payment or arrange a short payment plan.
Benefits of Settling
Settling prevents a judgment against you. You avoid wage garnishment and bank levies. You save money by paying less than the full amount.
The case gets dismissed once you pay the agreed amount. The debt disappears from your credit report faster than if you got a judgment.
How to Negotiate
Start with a low offer, around 30 to 40 percent. Cach LLC will likely counter with a higher amount. Negotiate until you reach an agreement both sides can accept.
Get everything in writing before paying. The settlement agreement should state the amount you’ll pay. It should confirm Cach LLC will dismiss the lawsuit. It should specify they’ll report the debt as settled to credit bureaus.
Never make a payment without a written agreement. Verbal promises don’t protect you.

What Happens in Court
If you can’t settle and the case goes to trial, you’ll need to present your defenses. Cach LLC must prove their case with evidence.
They’ll need to provide documentation showing you owe the debt. They must prove they have standing to sue. They need to verify the amount is correct.
Many debt buyers can’t meet this burden. They lack proper documentation. Judges often rule in favor of defendants when creditors can’t prove their case.
Prepare for court by gathering your own evidence. Bring copies of your Answer and any correspondence with Cach LLC. Bring documentation that supports your defenses.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act protects you from abusive collection tactics. Cach LLC must follow strict rules when contacting you.
They cannot:
- Call you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.
- Contact you at work if you tell them not to
- Harass, threaten, or use profane language
- Misrepresent the amount you owe
- Threaten actions they can’t legally take
If Cach LLC violates the FDCPA, you can sue them. You might recover damages up to $1,000 plus attorney fees.
Document every contact with Cach LLC. Keep records of calls, letters, and messages. These records can prove FDCPA violations.
