Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Relief and Debt Liquidation
Mounting medical bills or credit card debt can quickly lead to threatening collection letters, garnishments, and repossession threats. Under the Bankruptcy Code, Chapter 7 provides a legal mechanism to wipe the slate clean.
- Discharging Unsecured Debt: Erasing qualifying credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans without repayment obligations.
- Halting Collection Actions: Triggering the federal automatic stay to immediately stop lawsuits, collection calls, and bank levies.
- Protecting Essential Assets: Utilizing North Carolina bankruptcy exemptions to help clients keep their homes, vehicles, and retirement savings.
- Guiding You Through the Process: Preparing schedules, conducting debtor examinations, and securing a comprehensive bankruptcy discharge.
Creditor Harassment and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
Federal and North Carolina state laws strictly prohibit debt collection agencies from engaging in abusive, deceptive, or threatening conduct. Klein & Sheridan holds unlawful debt collectors accountable under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and state consumer statutes.
- Stopping Abusive Calls: Litigating against collectors who use profanity, call early in the morning or late at night, or repeatedly harass you after receiving written cease-and-desist notices.
- Third-Party Disclosures: Suing debt collectors who unlawfully contact family members, employers, or neighbors regarding personal financial obligations.
- Recovering Statutory Damages: Forcing predatory collection agencies to pay statutory compensation, actual damages, and your attorney fees under federal law.
Credit Reporting Errors and Mortgage Servicing Abuse
Inaccuracies on credit reports can ruin your ability to buy a home, obtain a car loan, or secure employment. In addition to bankruptcy, the firm handles Fair Credit Reporting Act and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act litigation.
- FCRA Violations: Holding Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and inaccurate data furnishers liable for refusing to correct false or outdated derogatory marks.
- Mortgage Servicing Violations: Challenging illegal mortgage fees, misapplied escrow payments, and unlawful foreclosure actions by abusive loan servicers.
