Contracts
Note Payable
New York
I need to sue on an unpaid promissory note
The note was written back in March 2019 I hired an attorney and he has done nothing for me! I made tons of requests to try to settle out of court with this man and he just keeps blowing me off
Matthew S.
You need someone who will attempt to settle the matter for you and if that fails be prepared to sue on the note and take the necessary action to collect. This assumes the debtor has assets to collect against. It can take a while. I have had some folks pay relatively promptly, others several years. Communication between attorney and client is very important in this process. If you have no idea what is going on in your case you can get very anxious. I make sure you get consulted on each development and you get copies of each filing.
Debt Collection
Lien
California
My brother paid off the mortgage loan of my parent's home in California in Jan 2021. In return the ownership was transferred to his name. However, in mid 2023 a lien was put on the property for $80K. We had no idea who filed, after talking with my father he told us that could be a judgement for him to pay back for the "zeek reward" scheme that he joined from more than 10 years ago. Is that legal for the lien to be on the property now that my father is not the owner?
The house is an investment property with renters, my father lives in one room and we do have a rental agreement with him. He manages the property since my brother and sister who are the owners of the property are living in different states.
Joseph M.
If the judgment was against your father and not you then you should be able to fight the lien.

Demand Letter
Washington
Drafting tone in a demand letter?
I recently received a demand letter from a creditor for an unpaid debt. I am unsure of how to respond in a way that is both respectful and firm. I am concerned about the tone of my response and I would like to make sure that it is appropriate and in line with the law.
Merry A.
It is always an excellent idea to (1) Use a polite and professional tone, along the lines of how you would write if your letter could end up in front of a judge some day; (2) Have a friend or family member review your letter with you before you send it; and (3) include all your pertinent contact information. However, I do want to mention that when you write back, if you don't know what the debt is for, you are within your rights to request written verification of what the debt is for - I mention this because there is a popular scam of sending fake debt collection letters to people and causing them all kinds of stress and distress.

Can a debt settlement agreement be transferred?
I recently received an offer from a creditor to settle a debt I owe. However, due to my current financial situation, I am unable to make the payments they are asking for. I am wondering if I can transfer the debt settlement agreement to another party, who would be able to pay the debt in full.
Diane D.
Probably not. You wil need to talk to the creditor.

Creditor rights in debt settlement agreements?
I recently entered into a debt settlement agreement with my creditor, but I am worried that my rights may be violated during the process. I am concerned that the creditor may not abide by the terms of the agreement, or that they may not provide me with the full protections that I am entitled to under the law. I am hoping to get some clarity on my rights as a debtor in this situation so that I can protect myself.
Diane D.
Without seeing the settlement agreement, there is no way to tell if your rights, or what you believe to be your rights, are covered. Also, if they don't abide by the contract, you can take them to court.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
