Collections Defense

Collections Defense is an area of law at which my firm has a great deal of experience. With the rise of delinquent debt and the outsourcing of that debt to shady collection agencies, having an attorney to protect your interests has become vital.

We have seen a number of unsavory collection agencies use unethical and sometimes illegal means to attempt to collect debt. We have heard stories of repeated phone calls at home and at work, threats of legal action, threats of wage garnishment (which cannot occur in Pennsylvania) threats of jail time and worse. If you have been threatened by a debt collector, call my office for a free consultation.

All of the above activities are illegal and contrary to the rights afforded you under federal and state laws.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act sets forth the specific rights of the debtor and further sets forth the acceptable collection practices that the collector may use. 

I am well versed in the rights of creditors and debtors, and in many areas of consumer law, based in part in my knowledge of the law and my experience in dealing with hundreds and hundreds of these types of cases. If you have a collection agency attempting to collect a debt from you, please contact my office at 412-823-8003 or send an email to Attorney Greg Artim
