Enforcing your rights and pushing back against harassment and unlawful collection.
Owing a debt does not strip you of your rights. At Shim Law Group, P.C., we enforce your rights under federal and state consumer and business protection laws, pushing back against harassment and unlawful collection practices. When a collector crosses the line, we hold them to the rules.
Collectors and lenders are bound by laws that limit how they can pursue a debt. When those limits are ignored, through harassment, misrepresentation, or improper tactics, you may have both a defense and a claim of your own. We help you assert both.
We put a stop to unlawful conduct, assert your protections, and pursue claims where a collector has broken the rules. Knowing your rights is often the difference between being pressured into a bad outcome and reaching a fair one.
Our attorneys are ready to review your situation and answer your questions. Contact us today at (718) 878-1177 or fill out our online form for free.
Federal and state laws limit how debts can be collected and prohibit certain abusive practices. Your specific rights depend on the situation and the type of debt, which we can review with you.
Depending on the circumstances, harassment, threats, misrepresentation, and other improper tactics can cross legal lines. If a collector has acted improperly, you may have a defense and a potential claim.
