- Divorce
- Child SupportBad news is that not everyone needs to go to court and sue you for a court order to start taking portions of your weekly salary. If you owe child support, backed taxes, or student loans – these are three of the most common forms of debt – the parties you owe can start garnishing your wages without a court approval. You will have to be notified beforehand, however.

- ExtortionIf you owe creditors money for loans, you might be wondering how you can relieve yourself of debt. Sometimes, that decision is not entirely up to you. If a court order creates a wage garnishment against you, money will be taken directly out of your paychecks and placed into the accounts of the people you owe until your debt is paid off. This treatment is often regarded as harsh or excessive, and some people see it as legal extortion.

- BankruptcyChapter 13 bankruptcy gives individuals who are deep in debt a chance to reorganize their finances and repay their debt over time. This is an excellent option for those with steady incomes who need time to catch up with what they owe. If you do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy after failing the means test, there is a good chance you will still qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
- ForeclosureEvery case is unique. But while each person’s debt solution may be different, the general results are the same. From getting a clean slate to successfully fighting off foreclosure, there is a wide array of benefits that bankruptcy can deliver for you and your loved ones. Once you have achieved your fresh start, this also means that you can immediately get to work restoring your credit and building a strong financial foundation.
- Debt CollectionThe Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was created to protect people from debt collector harassment. If a collector or agency violates the practices set forth in the FDCPA, you may be able to sue them in court. Contact our Boca Raton FDCPA lawyer to learn more.
