“Bad Paper: Chasing Debt From Wall Street to the Underworld” by Jake Halpern
This article was great reading for a consumer bankruptcy lawyer in Alabama. You will love the descriptions of the thugs and underhanded collection agencies that buy bad debts that were charged off by the original creditors-some of the debts were discharged in Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy years before. Some shady collectors will threaten criminal prosecution of their demands for payment are not obeyed. Too often the collector cannot produce any documentation of the debt other than the victim’s name, address, account number and balance.
Unscrupulous debt collection is not just something that happens in big cities. Good people in Shelby and Jefferson County fall victim every day. I can use Federal bankruptcy law to protect you and your loved ones from this collector abuse. Get a fresh start. Call anytime for a free consultation. 205-989-1919
