Debt collections can make you feel like the weight of the world is holding you down. If you feel like this, there are two important things to remember:

First, you’re not alone. Every year thousands of people in Massachusetts file for bankruptcy. Many more are sued by debt collectors, and even more receive debt collection calls, letters, and threats.
Second, you have a legal issue. If a judgment is entered against you, you risk serious consequences like wage garnishment, bank account attachments, liens on your property, and more. Bankruptcy and other consumer protections exist for a reason. You have a legal right to debt relief and to be free from harassing creditors.

Your next step on the journey to debt relief awaits. Call Brine Consumer Law today to review your options.

Why Choose Us

You wouldn’t hire a doctor who can treat the flu but not pneumonia. Why, then, would you hire an attorney who practices in only one aspect of consumer debt law?

Brine Consumer Law is Worcester’s only law firm exclusively dedicated to fighting consumer debt in all three areas: bankruptcy, debt lawsuits, and collection violations. Because of this, Brine Consumer Law is uniquely positioned to offer more options and more solutions to achieve your goals.

Among other things, you might be eligible for one of the following options:

Bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the best option to discharge unaffordable debts. It typically takes about three months to complete, and in most cases there’s no loss of property or payment of any debts. Alternatively, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy payment plan may be the best option to catch up on past due payments to prevent a foreclosure or repossession.
Debt defense. On the other hand, if you have only one or two debts and are being sued by debt collectors, then the best option might be to fight those collection lawsuits rather than filing bankruptcy. Debt collectors have the burden of proof, and will lose the case if they don’t have sufficient admissible evidence. This can often be harder than it sounds for debt collectors.
Debt collection violations. Federal and state laws prohibit debt collectors from taking certain actions. Among other things, they can’t threaten to take illegal actions (like suing you on a debt that’s past the statute of limitations). They can’t contact other people about your debt, take other harassing actions, or make any false or misleading statements. There are restrictions on how often debt collectors can contact you, and steps they must take if you request that they cease and desist. If debt collectors violate these rules, they can be punished.

No other attorney in central Massachusetts offers this wide-range of exclusive consumer debt practice areas. This is all we do.
