Guardian Litigation Group is not affiliated with CACH LLC. We provide legal representation against aggressive debt collectors and debt lawsuits.
If you’ve been served court papers and just found out that CACH LLC is suing you, you’re probably wondering who they are—and what this lawsuit means for you. CACH is a debt buyer, and by the time you hear from them, they likely claim to own an old account you once had. These lawsuits move fast, and the steps you take next can seriously affect the outcome.
At Guardian Litigation Group, we handle cases like this every day. We represent clients across the country facing lawsuits from large debt buyers, including CACH LLC. Whether you’ve just been served or your court date is approaching, we’re here to step in, assess your case, and move quickly to protect your legal rights.
Who Is CACH, LLC and Why Are They Suing You?
CACH, LLC is a debt buyer. They’re not a lender, a credit card company, or a bank. What they do is purchase unpaid debts from original creditors after those accounts have gone unpaid for a period of time. This includes credit cards, personal loans, and sometimes medical or utility bills. By the time CACH gets involved, the original account has likely been closed and written off.
The debt may have changed hands more than once, and that’s part of why people often don’t recognize the name on the lawsuit. It’s not unusual for someone to see “CACH, LLC” on court documents and have no idea what it’s about, until they look at the fine print and notice a familiar account buried in the details. These cases can be confusing, especially when the timeline goes back several years.
They File Lawsuits Across the Country
Once CACH acquires an account, they may file lawsuits in court, often through third-party law firms. These lawsuits come with deadlines, and if ignored, can result in a judgment. Once that happens, CACH can begin collection efforts through the courts.
Their cases are often supported by documents that claim to show the chain of ownership of the debt—who held it before, when it was purchased, and what’s owed. Whether those records are accurate or complete can make a real difference in how the case unfolds. But first, you have to respond.
Resurgent Capital Services Often Works With Them
If you’ve seen the name Resurgent Capital Services on a letter or account, they’re likely connected to CACH. Resurgent often services or manages the debt collection process on behalf of CACH, handling the paperwork, communications, and sometimes working with outside law firms to pursue lawsuits.
This structure means you may hear from multiple parties tied to the same debt. One may send letters, another may file the court case, and a third might appear in your credit report. That layered approach can make it hard to track who’s involved, but legally, they’re connected. If CACH’s name is on the lawsuit, that’s the company claiming the right to collect.
What to Expect After You’re Served in a Debt Lawsuit
When CACH LLC sues you, the first official step is service of process. That means you’ll receive a packet of documents (usually delivered in person or by mail) called a summons and complaint. The summons tells you that a lawsuit has been filed. The complaint lays out the details: who is suing you, the amount they claim you owe, and the basis for the lawsuit. These documents can be confusing, especially if you’re seeing CACH LLC’s name for the first time.
Once you’re served, you only have a limited number of days to file your response with the court. This deadline varies depending on the state where the lawsuit was filed. In many states, the window is around 20 to 30 days. That’s calendar days, not business days.
A response can take the form of a written answer, where you admit or deny the claims in the complaint. It’s not something to guess your way through. If your response isn’t filed correctly or on time, CACH LLC may ask the court to issue a default judgment against you. That gives them the legal right to collect on the debt through additional means—without ever having to present evidence in court.
The court doesn’t call to remind you. Once that deadline passes, you lose certain legal options. That’s why this early stage is one of the most important points in the case.
What Could Happen Next: Settlement, Court Judgment, or Dismissal
Once you respond, the case can move in different directions. Sometimes, the matter is resolved through a settlement, which is an agreement where you and the creditor work out payment terms. Other times, the case proceeds to court. The judge might set a hearing date or request additional documents. Depending on the facts, the court could enter a judgment or dismiss the case.
Each of these outcomes comes with its own consequences. A judgment is a legal decision that can lead to collection methods. A dismissal means the case ends without any judgment. But it doesn’t erase the debt or prevent future lawsuits unless the dismissal is with prejudice.
It’s hard to predict exactly how the case will play out without reviewing the details of the complaint, the contract, the age of the debt, and whether CACH LLC has the proper documentation.
What Happens If You Don’t Respond at All
Ignoring a lawsuit doesn’t make it disappear. If you miss the deadline to respond, CACH LLC can ask the court to enter what’s called a default judgment. It’s a court order saying you owe the full amount claimed, plus interest, legal fees, and sometimes court costs.
Once a default judgment is entered, the creditor has the legal authority to pursue collection through the court. That can include wage garnishment, where part of your paycheck is withheld. It can also include levying a bank account, which freezes and withdraws funds directly. Some states even allow liens on property, which is a legal claim that attaches to your property, giving the creditor a right to collect from its value if it’s sold or refinanced.
These actions aren’t immediate, but once a judgment is entered, they can move quickly. Court orders carry real weight. And once those tools are used, reversing them becomes difficult—sometimes impossible. If you’ve been served, the safest move is to act before the deadline hits.

Debunking Common Myths About Debt Collection Lawsuits
When a debt lawsuit shows up, most people don’t know what to expect. That’s understandable. The paperwork looks official but also vague. The company suing you might seem unfamiliar. And unless you’ve dealt with the legal system before, it’s hard to know what’s real, what’s urgent, and what can wait. In these situations, it’s common for people to rely on assumptions or advice passed around online. Some of it sounds reasonable. Some of it seems reassuring. The problem is, much of it doesn’t hold up in court.
Let’s go through some of the most common beliefs people have when they’re sued over debt and explain how those ideas play out in the real world.
“It’s Not Legit If I Don’t Recognize the Company”
A lot of people see the name CACH LLC or another debt buyer and think it must be a scam. After all, they never borrowed money from that company. There was no credit card, no account login, no familiar logo. That line of thinking makes sense on the surface. But debt buyers are in the business of purchasing delinquent accounts from original creditors. The names change hands behind the scenes. The paperwork might be sold, resold, and passed through multiple companies before a lawsuit ever lands on your desk.
So, even if you don’t recognize the name on the lawsuit, the debt might still be based on a real account you once had. It could be a credit card that was charged off years ago. Maybe a loan you defaulted on during a hard time. Maybe something you forgot. Or maybe something that was charged fees for years after it stopped showing up on statements.
“If I Ignore It, It Will Go Away”
This is one of the most common and most damaging beliefs. A lawsuit doesn’t expire just because it’s ignored. In fact, ignoring it often gives the other side exactly what they’re hoping for. When someone fails to respond to a lawsuit, the court may enter a default judgment. That judgment gives the debt buyer real legal power. It opens the door to garnishing wages, freezing bank accounts, and collecting on the debt through court-ordered methods.
The debt doesn’t vanish and your problem doesn’t solve itself. Inaction just shifts the outcome into the creditor’s hands. Once a judgment is entered, options narrow quickly.
“I Can Just Say I Don’t Owe It”
Some people assume that saying they disagree with the debt is enough. They may write a letter. Or make a phone call. Or explain the situation to a friend who works in finance. But a debt lawsuit moves through court filings. If a formal written response isn’t filed with the court by the deadline, the lawsuit continues as if you never responded at all. And that can result in a default judgment, even if your side of the story is completely valid.
A legal response usually involves admitting, denying, or stating that you don’t have enough information to answer each claim in the complaint. It has to be filed with the court and sometimes served to the opposing side. That’s the part that gets missed when people rely on informal communication. Saying you don’t owe it only matters if it becomes part of the legal record in the right format, at the right time.
Online Advice Doesn’t Always Match Legal Reality
It’s tempting to search the internet when legal papers arrive. There are forums full of people telling their stories. Some say they ignored lawsuits and nothing happened. Others say they paid a few hundred dollars to make the debt go away. Every case is different. Every state has its own rules. And the law doesn’t work the same way for everyone. What worked in one case may fall apart in another.
At Guardian Litigation Group, we’ve seen how quickly legal missteps can lead to garnishments and judgments that follow people for years. That’s why we focus on giving real answers based on the facts in front of us. The internet has some good advice, but we provide legal representation.

FAQs
What should I do if I just found out CACH LLC is suing me?
If CACH LLC is suing you, the most important thing to do is respond to the lawsuit before the court deadline. That window is usually 20 to 30 days, depending on your state. Ignoring it can lead to a default judgment. Look closely at the complaint, check the details, and reach out for legal help. The sooner you act, the more options you’ll have to deal with it properly.
Can a debt buyer like CACH LLC really take me to court?
Yes, they can. Debt buyers purchase old accounts and, once they own the debt, they have the legal right to file a lawsuit. Even if you never heard of CACH LLC before, they may still have the legal documents to support a claim. That’s why it’s important to treat the lawsuit seriously and consider legal representation, especially if the debt is big.
How does Guardian Litigation Group handle debt lawsuits?
We take over the legal process for you. Once we’re retained, we review your lawsuit, file the legal response, appear in court on your behalf, and deal with the attorneys representing the debt buyer. We’re a law firm, so everything we do is handled through licensed attorneys—not call centers or third parties. Our goal is to reach the most favorable legal outcome based on your specific case.
Will Guardian Litigation Group appear in court for me?
Yes. When you work with us, our attorneys handle all court appearances related to your case. That includes pre-trial hearings, negotiations, and any required filings. You won’t need to stand in front of a judge on your own, we’ll step in and manage the entire legal side so that you’re properly represented.
Will this lawsuit affect my credit?
It can. Lawsuits and judgments can appear on your credit report and impact your score. Even before a judgment is entered, the original debt or collections related to it may already be hurting your credit. If the court enters a judgment, it could remain on your report for several years, depending on your state. Addressing the lawsuit properly may help reduce long-term damage.
