Collections Defense Attorney in Ft. Lauderdale

You have rights under federal law.

Being delinquent on bills is extremely stressful. Most individuals have spent years building good credit and taking pride in being responsible. When you face unexpected financial problems from loss of employment, a divorce or a medical situation, your finances can become impossible. That fact that you were once a trusted customer with years of timely payments will be of no interest to the collections department at credit card companies, phone companies or other businesses. Once your debt is sold to a collection agency, it can become extremely difficult, as you will be called, threatening letters will be sent, and even lawsuits filed against you. Usually debt is sold to these agencies for pennies on the dollar and they can be quite ruthless in taking collection actions against you. There are certain types of actions that they cannot engage in under federal law. If they have violated your rights as a consumer, they can be held accountable and may be forced to pay you damages. A Fort Lauderdale bankruptcy lawyer can provide the legal resources and support that you need to fight back.

Fighting Back Against Creditors in Fort Lauderdale

In most cases creditors rely upon the fact the individuals either won't fight back or are unaware of their rights. Lacking experience and the legal resources to make correct choices can leave consumers in a very bad position and unsure about what to do to end the harassment and abuse. Frightened by threats of lawsuits or public humiliation they agree to useless payment plans or make arrangements that only further damage their finances. Struggling to make random payments or to live under the restriction of garnished wages and judgments, charge offs and other financial stress can make matters far worse.

Understanding that their duty is to be a supportive and strong advocate for their clients has been at the center of Christian and Lisa McCue's law practice.
