On Consumer Debt Law
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney discusses consumer debt laws.
Consumer debt law can be very confusing and frustrating but there are several key things to remember when you are trying to resolve a debt. First, if the debt is valid then you will need to pay it. If you can’t afford to pay the debt in full you need to try and make payment arrangements. Ignoring debt collectors will not make the debt go away and it will only make the situation worse. However, there are rules that debt collectors must following when they are trying to collect a debt from you. Consumer debt laws prevent debt collectors from stalking or physically threatening you. The law also prohibits them from coming to your school or workplace to try and settle the debt. However, just because the law prohibits them from doing these things does not mean that it doesn’t ever happen. You best bet is to try and communicate with the debt collector and arrange to make payments that you can afford. If you feel like you need legal representation you should contact a consumer debt law attorney.
