Different types of debt call for different methods of litigation to resolve the. That is why it’s important for you to hire an experienced professional to handle your communications with debt collectors.

Some of the more common types of debt:

  • Personal loans
  • Business loans
  • Deficiencies on your home or vehicle

 Prevent Repossessions & Stop Foreclosure

You want to prevent consequences such as legal action, repossession, and reports on your credit.

Most litigation attorneys can negotiate with the lender to avoid these consequences and come to a solution that is manageable for you, the client.

Some creditors may be willing to take a lump sum, if you are able to offer it. This option can save you a lot of money.

The creditor may even reduce the debt and close the case based on the settled balance.

If a lump settlement is not possible, there are other resolutions we can seek. We can look to receive a reduction in your interest, so that your payments affect the actual balance of the debt.

We can also negotiate for a longer repayment period, thereby reducing your current payments.

If your debt has reached a more serious level and you are past the point of negotiation, you may be the recipient of a lawsuit from your lender.

If this happens, you will receive a complaint and summons from your debt collector, stating the request from the debtor for repayment and the time and date you should appear in court.

If you are on the receiving end of a debt related lawsuit, contact Ziegler Law Office immediately.

Failing to respond to the summons can result in a judgment against you which does not allow you to outline the terms, and can put you in a terrible financial position.

You want to make sure that your response is swift and educated so that your interests are protected, which is why it is recommended you immediately contact the Law Office of Michael A. Ziegler.

Many times, a settlement can be agreed upon without the case having to go to court.

This is usually preferred by both parties, and following the settlement terms can help you recover from your debt in a timely and beneficial manner.

There are also forms of defense that can prove you are not responsible for the debt. A lender suing for an amount owed needs to prove through documentation that they have the right to collect the debt.

Sometimes, when the debt has been sold by the original lender, this documentation can slip through the cracks. The lender also needs to show that the amount being sued for is the actual amount owed.

This means they need to show a history of charges and payments. There are many routes we can take to help alleviate or reduce your debt and help you get your life back.
