Chicago Lawyer for the Fair Debt Collections Act
Just because you are behind in payments to a creditor, you don't have to be subjected to harassment or threatening behavior. A federal law, the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act, sets forth clear rules regarding the types of activities creditors or collections people can engage in when trying to collect on a debt. If you have been treated unfairly or improperly, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your interests.
At the Debra Levine Law Offices, we have provided bankruptcy and debt collections defense counsel to individuals throughout the greater Chicago area since 1996. We view bankruptcy as more than just a way to start over: We see it as the first step in a new direction to help create a secure financial future. In our years in practice, we have helped thousands of people reap the benefits intended by the laws.
Let Us Help You Stop Collection Calls in Cook County
When you file for bankruptcy protection, an automatic stay immediately goes into effect, prohibiting your creditors from sending letters, making calls or taking legal action outside of the bankruptcy process to collect the debt. The bankruptcy laws provide for the recovery of damages for violation of the automatic stay, including costs and attorneys fees, as well as punitive damages.
When you have been improperly contacted by a creditor after filing for bankruptcy protection, we will take a strong stance to protect your rights. We will file and prepare all documentation necessary to establish and prove your claim, and will be your advocate in all proceedings in court.
The bankruptcy laws are designed to protect you from creditor harassment. Don't sit back and take it — let us protect your rights.
