Crystal Lake Lawyers Exercise Creditors’ Rights

Creditors can encounter media criticisms for questionable practices in lending. More often than not, it’s the creditors who are falling victim to deceptive debtors. A lot of debtors avoid repaying legitimate debts in an attempt to “game” the system. Illegal tactics can even be used like fraudulent asset transfers. We can help creditors reinforce their contracts and get fairly compensated.

Once your judgment is entered, our lawyers apply a wide range of post-judgment solutions to allow creditors recover any funds. Such solutions include:

• Real estate liens ― Oftentimes, a creditor can enforce the selling of a property owned by the debtor to fulfill the judgment.
• Citations to discover assets ― The creditor making judgments can require a lien on other assets than just real estate. The individual can also conduct a debtor’s examination.
• Levy — County sheriffs can sell or seize debtor’s of the judgment’s property in order to fulfill any outstanding debts.
• Garnishments — Creditors can arrest funds that belong to the debtor, but may otherwise be held by a third party.
• Wage deductions — A creditor has the ability to deduct money off a debtor’s income to meet the judgment.
• Turnover orders — The debtor will be required to “turn over” non-exempt funds like a debtor’s financial account to the creditor in order to fulfill judgments.

Resolute representation for forthright debtors

Honest debtors shouldn’t suffer from harsh collections actions. They should not fall into the trap of aggressive lender behavior such as those who try to seek confession judgments or force a business into bankruptcy with them.
