When falling behind on bills, one of the first things on anyone’s mind is putting a stop to creditor and debt collection. These phone calls and collection attempts can interrupt your otherwise productive work day, bordering on harassment and knowing no limits. But there are steps you can take to stop these collection attempts today. Our Arlington TX bankruptcy attorneys with the Law Offices of David Kohm can help you with your bankruptcy needs today, getting you back on your feet and stopping these collection attempts today.
Debt collectors have one goal in mind – to get their clients the money you owe. They don’t care what time it is, if you are at work or not, or if you’re in the middle of something important. They go after what they want, and will stop at nothing until they get it. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, however, you have specific rights. Debt collections must identify themselves as a direct collector in every communication, provide you the name of the original creditor, notify you of your right to dispute the debt, provide verification of the debt, and file lawsuits in a proper venue. They cannot call you continuously with the intent to annoy or abuse, call you at your place of employment after you have advised them not to call, or call you outside of 8 a.m. or 9 p.m. your local time, plus a host of other legal restraints. Our Arlington TX bankruptcy attorneys can put a stop to these abusive debt practices today with an automatic stay, which will cease creditor collection. The Law Offices of David Kohm are here to help you get creditors off your back.
