Stop Creditor Harassment
Work with a Bronx bankruptcy lawyer!
One of the most frustrating things about financial hardship is the non-stop calling and collection attempts by creditors. As if your monetary burdens are not hard enough to handle, debt collectors stop short of nothing to continuously pester, pressure, or even threaten you into paying your debts. It is important to know that, as a consumer, you are protected under the law from creditor harassment. If you feel that your rights are being violated in any manner, working with the Bronx bankruptcy attorney from the Law Offices of David Brodman can help stop the collection attempts!
The moment you retain the Law Offices of David Brodman to represent you, all creditors and collection attempts are immediately referred to our office. This referral automatically stops all harassing phone calls. Once our firm files a case, creditors are not allowed to have any contact with you whatsoever. Filing for bankruptcy creates an automatic stay that stops all collection activity, and if a creditor tries to contact you after filing for bankruptcy, that creditor is in violation of the automatic stay. A violation could make the creditor subject to sanctions and fines.
Consumer Protection Act & Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
The Consumer Protection Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act were created to help ensure that consumers are protected from harassing collection attempts.
According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, creditors are in violation of the law if they:
- Contact you before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
- Contact you at your place of employment
- Use abusive language
- Communicate your debt to a third party
- Report false information to consumer credit reporting agencies
The most important thing to remember during this time in your life is that you have rights that are protected under the law and any individual or corporation that violates those rights do so illegally. You need to retain legal representation as soon as possible - you need to work with the Law Offices of David Brodman.
