Palmdale Creditor Abuse Attorney
About Creditor Abuse
Creditors have the legal right to collect debts owed to them by debtors; however, the use of harassment or threats in order to obtain a debt is illegal and should not be tolerated. It is common in today's society for an individual and his or her family to fall behind on bill payments, mortgages, and other expenses. Many people have lost their jobs or experienced significant pay cuts. In addition, credit is being overused in many cases where funds are not readily available.
Any person or business that is unable to pay their current bills due to circumstances beyond their control has nothing to feel ashamed of and should speak immediately with a Palmdale bankruptcy attorney that can assess their situation and protect them from creditor abuse. Unfortunately, in many circumstances the individual that owes the debt is either not aware that creditor abuse is against the law or feels powerless against it.
Unscrupulous creditors may prey upon those that feel that creditor abuse is "their fault" for owing the debt in the first place. This is simply not the case and anyone that is being victimized by a dishonest creditor has a right to take legal action. There are a number of forms of illegal creditor abuse and they include: calling without identification as a creditor, using racial slurs or profanity, threatening violence, pretending to be an attorney, using more than one collection agency in order to collect a debt, calling before 8am or after 9pm, contacting an individual repeatedly, and threatening arrest.
