New York and California Debtor's Rights Lawyer
Being in debt is a difficult situation to be in without having to deal with harassing telephone calls and letters from creditors and debt collectors. Though creditor and debt collector harassment is an unpleasant experience for any individual, there are avenues through which an end to the harassment can be achieved.
At the office of Pelton Serpe LLP, our skilled attorneys are dedicated to helping you put a stop to creditor and debt collector harassment. Our lawyers have over 15 years of experience advocating for clients' rights. We utilize this experience throughout the course of handling your case. Together we will work to take charge of your debts and work to put an end to the harassment you and your family may be experiencing.
Before filing for bankruptcy, our firm will notify all creditors and debt collectors that we represent you. To the extent your creditors or debt collectors continue to harass you, our firm will bring legal suit on your behalf without any cost to you.
After you have filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a creditor will receive notice of the filing. After this notice is received, an automatic stay is put into effect. This essentially means that your creditors are forbidden to attempt to collect on a debt during the time that the stay is in place. Some of the types of prohibited actions are listed below.
- Calling your home or workplace
- Sending threatening letters
- Continuing to mail bills
- Foreclosing on or repossessing a property
- Wage garnishment
If creditors and debt collectors continue to harass you after you have filed for bankruptcy, we will sue them on your behalf at no cost to you and get you damages for your suffering.
You have rights and options. Do not let creditor harassment continue without talking with a knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer at our office.
