How Does a Creditor Representation Lawyer Help?

You may often read about how bankruptcy lawyers help people to create debt-repayment plans and stop creditors or collections agencies from making harassing phone calls. Debtors in bankruptcy court might view their creditors as a kind of enemy, but the fact is that creditors simply want to collect what they believe is rightfully owed to them. Navigating the landscape of bankruptcy court can be difficult without professional help. This is where a creditor representation lawyer comes in.

So, how can a lawyer help?

Lawyers Review Financial Documents

This first point is worth mentioning because, in many instances, creditors believe they can enforce the collection of the debts owed to them, but their documentation reveals otherwise. Creditors can go for years believing they have the right to acquire the collateral involved in a loan, only to realize they cannot. This could be because the original loan documents were not executed correctly, or any number of other reasons. In any case, a lawyer representing a creditor in bankruptcy court can review such paperwork to be able to say what can be done.

Lawyers Can Get Assets Back

What a bankruptcy lawyer can do for a creditor in court depends on the special circumstances of the case. In general, a lawyer will try to secure either the money the debtor borrowed or the collateral put up against the loan (often a house). A lawyer representing a creditor can also attempt to lift the automatic stay imposed by the bankruptcy court so the creditor can resume debt-collection efforts.

Lawyers Answer Questions

Throughout a bankruptcy case, which can be extremely lengthy depending on the situation, creditor representation lawyers will be available to answer questions and deal with any emergencies that arise. This is perhaps the most important benefit of using a bankruptcy lawyer if you are a creditor. Bankruptcy law can be enormously complicated, and everyone is trying to secure what is best for themselves. A lawyer is there to alleviate the stress of the case and handle any unfavorable issue that presents itself.
