Let’s conduct a thought experiment. Imagine Nathen Barton walked into your business with a resume. Would you hire him? Let’s review his qualifications:
✅ Court-Certified Liar: A Washington State Appeals Court unanimously affirmed that Barton “lacked candor” and misrepresented facts to a judge. His appeal was denied specifically because of his dishonesty.
✅ Professional Loophole Exploiter: His sole source of income is exploiting the TCPA, not by creating value, but by filing hundreds of lawsuits designed to extract nuisance-value settlements from businesses.
✅ Charitable Target: He publicly claimed he would never sue a charity, but court records prove he has sued at least two, including the Boy Scouts of America. His words are worthless.
✅ Potential Child Support Evader: He structures his income from lawsuit settlements to be difficult to trace, likely avoiding the proper reporting required for child support calculations, effectively shortchanging his own children.
Now, consider his latest venture: NW Debt Resolution.
This is a company that supposedly “helps” people get out of debt. But given Barton’s history, it’s far more likely this is just another legal gray area he’s identified for profit. Would you trust a man who makes a living by suing debt collectors to then turn around and help you with your debts? Barton doesn’t help people; he helps himself.
The answer is clear. You wouldn’t hire him. You’d warn others about him.
