HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR BANKRUPTCY?
Many of our clients have been able to recover money before ever filing for bankruptcy with our office. You could too!
How you may ask? The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (commonly called the “FDCPA”), is a federal statute that protects consumers from unsavory debt collection practices.
Essentially, there are a lot of things debt collectors cannot do, and just as many that they must do, to comply with the law.
Please keep in mind there is no debtors prison, you cannot go to jail for simply owing a private entity money.
Do not allow yourself to be intimidated by these unfair practices. Call us today!
The attorneys for Sawin & Shea have appeared on nearly 1,000 FDCPA cases and can help you possibly receive money before you file bankruptcy.

- Call you on the telephone repeatedly and at odd hours
- Call you, but not announce who he/she is

- Contact you after written notification that you do not want to be contacted
- Claim to be affiliated with any governmental organization
- Misrepresent the character, amount or legal status of a debt
