Let’s cut straight to the facts—because the courts already have.

In a decisive September 2025 ruling, the Washington State Court of Appeals didn’t just reject Nathen Barton’s latest attempt to profit from the system—they exposed his lies under oath.

Here’s what happened:

Barton was sued over a $17 medical debt—a bill he legitimately owed. But rather than pay it like anyone else, he turned it into yet another legal circus. He filed a TCPA lawsuit against the debt collector, 4M Collections LLC, claiming they violated the Do Not Call registry.

But here’s where Barton’s story fell apart.

During the case, Barton stood before the court and declared under penalty of perjury that the collector had never contacted him after receiving his complaint. That was a lie—and the court proved it.

Solverity (4M Collections) had sent a detailed response letter to Barton via certified mail—a letter Barton conveniently “never received.” The court saw through the act. In their ruling, the judge stated Barton “didn’t have full candor” and “did not represent this court accurately.”

Translation? He lied.

And the court didn’t stop there. They vacated Barton’s earlier default judgment, calling his behavior a clear case of “misrepresentation or other misconduct.”

This wasn’t some technicality. This was a judicial rebuke of a man who has turned lying into a business model.

And it’s not the first time Barton’s dishonesty has been exposed:

He lied about being a “stay-at-home dad” in an NPR interview—while court records show he doesn’t have primary custody.

He lied about not suing charities—while filing suits against the Boy Scouts of America and others.

He lies about his phone numbers, his income, and his intentions—over and over.

This ruling isn’t just a legal defeat—it’s a public confirmation. Nathen Barton is a court-certified liar.
