Stop Foreclosure And Creditor Harassment

At Smith, Dickey & Dempster P.A., our lawyers are committed to helping victims stop creditor harassment. Creditors calling your home and work can cause unbearable stress. We will fight for you and help you explore all options to stop the harassment and to help you find a better financial future.

Debt Collection Harassment Is Illegal

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits creditors and debt collection companies from using illegal behaviors to try to collect unpaid debt. Illegal behaviors include harassment, threats and even calling debtors too early or too late in the day is illegal.

What is considered creditor harassment? Here are some of the most common ways creditors harass debtors:

  • Calling debtors all the time and using abusive or harassing behaviors
  • Using profane or obscene language
  • Making threats against debtors
  • Failing to tell debtors that they are creditors
  • Disclosing personal information about debtors to third parties
  • Lying about debt owed
  • Making threats to have the debtor arrested

You do not have to put up with harassment any longer. Our local law firm in Fayetteville has helped people in Cumberland County and throughout North Carolina stop harassment and explore their bankruptcy options.

Our Experience Helps Us Protect You

We will put a stop to creditor harassment and help you understand your options regarding debt relief. We provide personal attention and honest advice about your situation so you can make an informed decision that is best for you and your family.

Is Foreclosure Being Threatened?

Chapter 13 bankruptcy will stop all debt collection, including foreclosure actions, once you file for bankruptcy protection. In addition to stopping foreclosure, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will help you create a repayment plan that helps pay off your debt and can even result in your debt being discharged after five years.
