I have been practicing law since 1987, primarily in the consumer protection law field since 1991.  For 16 years of that time, I was a staff attorney with UAW Legal Services Plans. In that position, I assisted auto workers, retirees and their families on a high volume of cases, in some years over 3,000 cases a year.  I have been exposed to just about every consumer problem under the sun - at least I think so, until a new one comes up, and that makes life interesting.  

Hot issues now  include bottom feeder debt buyers suing consumers over old credit cards. The collectors below file most of the lawsuits in Indiana.

In addition there are aggressive student loan collectors such as National Collegiate Student Loan Trust and Educap.

I have dealt with Pension Assignment companies such as VFG, Voyager Financial Group.
