Los Angeles Collections Defense Attorney

Are debt collectors harassing you?

If you are struggling under a large amount of debt, you have enough stress and worry on your mind. The last thing you need is creditors calling your house and work at all hours of the day and night, harassing you or abusing you. In fact, you may not be aware that under the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, it is illegal for debt collectors to harass you and your family. Put an end to creditor harassment by contacting a Los Angeles bankruptcy attorney from our firm today. As soon as you hire an attorney, debt collectors are not legally allowed to longer contact you personally; they must go through your attorney. You are protected from threatening and harassing behavior under the FDCPA and your attorney can help you file legal action against a creditor that has violated your rights, seeking compensation for you.

Another obstacle you may be up against in your struggle with debt is wage garnishment. If you are trying to make ends meet, it can be even more difficult if a large portion of your pay is being taken away from you. At this point, you may want to consider filing for bankruptcy. Did you know that the moment you file for bankruptcy, all wage garnishments against you will be halted? You will once more be bringing home all of your hard-earned money. And under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, all or most of your debt will be discharged. Even under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will be able to get out from under the stress and struggle of debt. Contact an attorney today to discuss your options.

At Matthews Law Firm, we want you to remember that just because you owe an amount of debt does not mean that you are not protected from harassment or abuse. It is illegal for debt collectors to call your house after 9 pm, or before 8 am. Additionally, if you tell them in writing to stop contacting you, by law they must adhere to this. How to manage threats from creditors can be confusing. Have they violated federal law? We are very familiar with the FDCPA and how to bring collection agencies under control. Our firm has over 22 years of experience in these types of cases, and we can help you put an end to the harassment. By allowing us to help you through the bankruptcy process, you will not only be free from creditor harassment, but also free from the burden of debt.
