Fraud in Bankruptcy and Debt Consolidation Services
Warning: There are so-called debt negotiation companies on television, radio and the Internet who will promise you anything in order to get your money. They say they can stop wage garnishment, foreclosure, repossession and harassing phone calls. Don't be taken in by a scam. Consult a licensed and insured attorney instead.
There is a massive amount of fraud perpetrated by so-called debt consolidation, creditor negotiation and credit counseling companies. They make promises they can't possibly keep and engage in practices that serve their bottom line, not your best interests.
If have already fallen prey to one of these "avoid bankruptcy," "stop foreclosure," or "debt consolidation" scams, you may already realize that getting your money back will likely be an uphill battle. We may be able to help. Contact us today.
The Best Remedy for Fraud Is to Avoid It in the First Place
If you feel you have been defrauded by one of these companies, the lawyers of Weintraub & Selth can help you draft a demand letter that may lead to the return of all or part of your money. Your ultimate recourse is to sue the company, but since many of these operations are located out of state and litigation can be costly, you may be left with little chance to recover. Perhaps more importantly, we can educate you as to all of the options which are available to you, advise which one is best and help you achieve financial recovery.
In almost every circumstance, you are better off hiring an experienced bankruptcy and debt relief attorney who is licensed and overseen by the California state bar association and who carries insurance. We can explain your legal rights and real options in seeking relief from crushing debt either through a negotiated settlement with your creditors or through personal bankruptcy.
