Debt Collection Legal Questions and Answers
Debt Collection
Debt Settlement Agreement
Florida
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.

Settlement Agreement
Washington
I was injured when a Chinese safety product and won my argument.
I bought a safety sling off Amazon (I am Paraplegic) and the first time I used the lifting harness it failed and I fell hitting my foot on the floor and injuring it. After a lengthy investigation I was awarded an $18,000 Settlement Agreement and McLarens did all negotiations for the Chinese Supplier (Vendor of Amazons) and the Wire Transfer was set up for payment. It has been over 100 days since the agreement was made and we still have not been paid. The agent of McLarens on behalf of the Chinese Company (NEFFT) is my only contact and negotiated this settlement with will not return my Email and 5 times she has emailed she says she will contact her Client but I do not hear back from her and have to ask all over again. She has stalled for over 100 days now. What is the time limit for non payment and if so can they be Sued for Breach and bad faith practices and would that qualify for 3 times the amount of Settlement for Breach? Also my injured Foot is getting worse on top of it! Please help if possible?
Merry K.
I'm so sorry to hear about this. However, you posted on ContractsCounsel in the "question and answer" part of ContractsCounsel - I think you should obtain legal help, and for this, you need to post your request in the "project" area and expect to pay an attorney for help and advice. I'm sorry, I'm unable to answer all your questions - I just dropped in to provide these comments to you. (Also, please do not ask for me for a project, and I am not available for this type of work right now).
Debt Collection
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 K.
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.

Negotiating after a demand letter?
I recently received a demand letter from an individual who claims I owe them money. I am interested in negotiating a settlement outside of court, but am unsure of the best way to go about this. I am looking to get advice from a lawyer on how to proceed in order to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
Kimm M.
As a general rule, the best approach would be to either send a letter in response that proposes the settlement terms you desire, or to call the individual and negotiate by phone.

Citing laws in a demand letter?
I recently sent a demand letter to a person who I believe owes me money. I am trying to collect the payment they owe me, but they are refusing to pay. I included a few laws in the demand letter that I believe are relevant to my situation, but I am not sure if I have included all of the necessary laws. I would like to make sure I am citing all of the applicable laws in my demand letter so that I can ensure the payment is collected.
Merry K.
Unfortunately, often, one can cite all the laws one wants, but the person who owes the debt may simply be unwilling or unable to pay. If the debt is for less than $10,000, consider filing in Small Claims Court in your county. Here is the statewide information: https://www.courts.wa.gov/newsinfo/resources/?altMenu=smal&fa=newsinfo_jury.scc In addition, many counties, such as King, have their own websites and lots of information. When you file in Small Claims Court, be sure to include copies of all relevent paperwork, including any letters you sent to the defendent. And request reimbursement for the debt, interest, the cost of filing the Small Claims case, and any related costs/expenses. Even if you win, however, you may not get paid - but if you win, you will have some other ways to collect, such as garnishing wages or a bank account. I'd be happy to help coach you through the Small Claims process if you'd like to request my help through ContractsCounsel.com
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
