Why do I have an Atlantic Credit and Finance?

Atlantic Credit and Finance purchased a defaulted debt from an original creditor. Atlantic Credit and Finance then filed a lawsuit against you in an attempt to collect the debt. You may not have received notice or fought the lawsuit yourself but either way the judge ordered you to pay Atlantic Credit and Finance a certain amount of money.

Since the judgment was put in place it carried interest so it is increasing in value each day. Now is the time to settle a judgment before it can cost more.

Who is Atlantic Credit and Finance?

Atlantic Credit and Finance is a creditor that filed a lawsuit against you and for whatever reason the judge ruled that you owe them money.
