TYPES OF LEGAL SERVICES FOR CREDITORS
I offer a variety of services based on a creditors’ unique needs. Through my experience as a Texas creditors’ rights lawyer, I understand that your situation is unique and will require a specially tailored approach to secure the best result.
Some of my legal services for creditors include:
- Garnishment proceedings through which a third party takes payments from the debtor’s bank account to pay back the creditor.
- Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings: this process begins when a creditor feels that they will not get paid back, and so they request bankruptcy to be filed against the debtor. This is different from voluntary bankruptcy because the creditor is the one who initiates the bankruptcy instead of the debtor.
- Challenging automatic stays. An automatic stay works to keep creditors from being able to collect what is owed to them while the debtor begins to figure out how to make payments. Challenging an automatic stay could potentially allow creditors to access their money quicker than waiting for the debtor to start making payments.
- Negotiating cash offers.
- Requesting reaffirmation of debt. By doing this, creditors can show and prove that a debt is owed to them using legal means.
- Challenging a discharge of debt: to discharge a debt means to release the debtor from the debt they owe. A creditor can ask that a discharge of debt be challenged and reviewed, giving the creditor another chance to be paid what they’re owed.
- Collection Actions in state and federal courts.
- Filing claims in bankruptcy court.
With my experience in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, I have a deep understanding of bankruptcy court operations and how to advance a creditor’s rights in these proceedings. Whether protecting the rights of creditors when bankruptcy is not involved or offering counsel to help Texas creditors avoid having debts owed to them fall within the protection of the bankruptcy court, your interests will be well represented and protected.
