Bankruptcy

There are two bankruptcy options for consumers that would lead towards financial freedom and help relieve the stress of an unmanageable debt situation. These options are called Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In chapter 7 debtors are allowed to discharge all or part of their debt through a process of liquidation managed by a trustee. In chapter 13 a payment plan is negotiated by a trustee in consultation with you, your lawyers and your creditors which would, over a period of up to 5 years, repay part or all of your debt as well as possibly discharge any remaining debt at the end of the plan. Both options can be highly effective solutions allowing you to restart your financial situation moving forward.

FDCPA

FDCPA is the acronym for the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  As part of the Consumer Protection act, it was added to make it illegal for debt collectors to use unfair, abusive or deceptive practices in the collection of debts. It covers all forms of consumer debt including student loans, credit card debt, auto loans and medical bills. Working with Regency Legal Group will ensure all your rights under this act are protected.

Debt Negotiation

Debt negotiation is another option that may be applicable to your situation. As your lawyers, we would contact your creditors and negotiate a new payment plan and / or amount that would allow all parties to move forward and accept the outcome as settlement of your debt. This could be achieved by new terms, revised payment timelines or even settling the debt for less then originally agreed.

Litigation Defense

You may receive a summons which is a legal notice that a creditor is legal taking action against you. This can happen when creditors are unable to collect on the debt you have with them and it is a serious situation that you must address. Our lawyers will make sure that the proper response and action is taken to meet your legal requirements as well as protect your rights and property during your defense.
