These experienced Twin Cities bankruptcy lawyers understand that it is often the case that debtors feel as though the creditor can do whatever they want to do whether it is fair or not. Consumers who feel as though they are drowning in debt often despair over not knowing what to do to handle financial pressures. Many people ignore the danger signals as a coping mechanism when in serious debt, which only tends to aggravate the situation. It is important for debtors to understand that there are legal limits on creditors. A creditor must still act within the confines of the law in dealing with a debtor. A consumer has the legal rights such as the right to defend against spurious claims, pursue a breach of promise by a creditor, challenge accounting errors, pursue fraud claims and defend against legally unacceptable behavior by collection agencies. Debtors may also be eligible for debt relief that could lead to a new beginning for them.
Legal Rights of Debtors
Feeling Overwhelmed by Debt?
Many times consumers feel overwhelmed by debt and legally helpless. They do not see any way to get help dealing with their serious financial problems. There are laws that may offer help to financially worn out debtors, who do not know how to handle their serious debt problems. These serious debt problems may be causing them to be hounded by collection agencies, be the recipient of harassing creditor communications, and unable to see any way to avoid things getting financially worse for them. The fear of losing it all may be greater than reality. Consumers can look to available state and federal laws to see what relief may be offered for their particular situation. For example, consumers who are being abused by a collection agency can look to the “Fair Debt Collection Practices Act” to see if there is a violation by the collection agency. Consumers may also review prevailing state law to see if the collection efforts they are encountering are legally appropriate. A debtor who believes that he or she is the victim of a creditor’s fraud has legal recourse. In situations where the creditor did not do as promised, there may be defenses to the alleged debt such as that there has been a breach of promise by the creditor. There are also laws that may provide debt relief for eligible consumers.
