Creditor's Rights Lawyers Serving Clients Throughout Rockland and the Lower Hudson Valley
As a creditor, you have the opportunity to collect the debts you are owed. This is not the time to be aggressive with debtors, but you do want to file a proof of claim and make sure your rights are protected. At the Law Offices of Ronald V. De Caprio, we help protect the rights of creditors whose debtors are filing for bankruptcy.
If one of your debtors is filing for bankruptcy, there may be debts you are unable to recover. We can help counsel you through the bankruptcy process, and make sure you recover as much of the debt as possible through legal means.
Call 845-406-4201 (toll free 866-936-8113) or contact us online to schedule an appointment with an experienced lawyer from our office today.
The first thing you must do is file a judgment, so you can follow your debtor's bankruptcy case from start to finish. We will help you take the proper steps, so you can protect your rights. Representing creditors in court, as well as collecting from probate estates, we handle a number of concerns for creditors, including:
- Spousal Support: Congress has recognized financial support as a priority.
- Lending Money: You may not be entitled to receive anything in bankruptcy court if you have lent money under false pretenses.
- Mortgage and Lien Holders: If you hold a home mortgage or lien on a car, you may not be able to recover the total debt you are owed. However, you may be able to recover the collateral that secures the loan.
There is more than one way to collect a debt. You can go after cosigners as well, because an automatic stay does not apply to cosigners. This is true for both businesses pursuing Chapter 11 bankruptcy and individual bankruptcy.
