Consumer Law

Countrywide Sanctioned For Wrongful Conduct In Bankruptcy

By M. Stan Herring

We are seeing more and more Alabama consumers who are being mistreated either during or after a bankruptcy. We have written about discharged creditors (who cannot collect money from the debtor - its been discharged) still trying to collect the money even though it is illegal to do so.

If you are being mistreated by any creditor during or after a bankruptcy, please consult with your bankruptcy lawyer to help determine your rights. Over the years we have been brought into a number of cases by bankruptcy attorneys to help stop abusive creditors (during and after bankruptcy) who are breaking the laws in their obsession to collect money they are not entitled to collect.
