Our Firm’s Debt-Related Services

In addition to guiding clients through bankruptcy, our firm can also assist with other avenues for debt resolution and getting back on the path toward financial security.

Repossession Defense

Individuals and businesses may take out secured loans to purchase or lease various assets, such as a personal vehicle or business equipment. However, failing to make payments on time may result in lenders pursuing the repossession of the asset. When you miss loan or lease payments, contact Gina H. McDonald & Associates, LLC, as soon as possible for legal advice and advocacy to protect your interests. Our firm can help you explore solutions after defaulting on payments or advocate for you in court to challenge an improper or unlawful repossession.

Foreclosure Defense

When property owners fall behind on their mortgage payments, the bank may pursue foreclosure, which results in the judicial sale of the mortgaged property to satisfy the balance on the loan that the property secures. However, state and federal laws impose complex requirements on the foreclosure process, giving property owners various rights and protections.

At Gina H. McDonald & Associates, LLC, our attorneys help clients avoid losing their properties by negotiating with mortgage lenders to pursue alternatives to foreclosure, such as loan modification agreements. Our legal team also defends clients in court, thoroughly investigating cases to identify potential legal arguments, including the bank’s failure to comply with legal requirements for foreclosure. Although the foreclosure process can move quickly, we can advise you on your legal options at each stage of your case.

Garnishment Relief

When creditors or debt collectors obtain judgments to collect outstanding debts, they may pursue collection by asking the court to permit garnishment of your paycheck or bank account. Garnishments can cause significant stress and compounded financial difficulties, as you may find that you receive a smaller paycheck than you expected or have less money in your bank account than you thought, leaving you with insufficient funds to pay everyday expenses. As a result, garnishment can exacerbate your financial problems.

The attorneys at Gina H. McDonald & Associates, LLC, help clients pursue garnishment relief. We can review your situation to determine whether you may qualify for exemptions from garnishment. We can also negotiate settlements with lenders or debt collectors to resolve outstanding loans or debts and stop garnishment. Alternatively, we can pursue more drastic options, such as filing for bankruptcy, which can stop garnishment through the automatic bankruptcy stay.

Debt Collection Lawsuits

Our firm represents clients who receive notice that lenders or debt collectors have initiated legal proceedings to collect outstanding debts that clients may have defaulted on, such as medical bills, personal loans, student loans, or credit card balances. Debt collection litigation can involve complex court procedures. As a result, individuals can easily default in a debt collection lawsuit and lose any opportunity to pursue a more favorable resolution.

Debt collection lawsuits can involve various issues or challenges that may give consumers or businesses a path to protect their legal rights and financial interests, including:

Lawsuits based on inaccurate or outdated information, such as debts that clients have already paid off, or situations in which lenders or servicers inaccurately credited loan payments
Discharged debts, such as loan balances that lenders had forgiven or debts discharged by a bankruptcy court
Collection actions filed after the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations
Purported debt collectors or lenders that have insufficient evidence to prove their right to pursue collection

At Gina H. McDonald & Associates, LLC, our legal team will thoroughly investigate your case to identify defenses you may have, including a lender’s or debt collector’s violation of state and federal laws governing consumer debt collection. We will also aggressively negotiate on your behalf to pursue a favorable resolution of valid outstanding debt problems or advocate for your interests in court, if necessary.

Collection Letters

Debt collection companies employ aggressive tactics to pressure individuals and businesses into settling their debts. Receiving threatening collection letters and incessant phone calls can cause you considerable anxiety and stress. Hiring experienced legal counsel can take the pressure off your shoulders when dealing with debt collection letters and phone calls, as debt collectors cannot contact you directly when you obtain counsel.

The team from Gina H. McDonald & Associates, LLC, can deal with debt collectors on your behalf, freeing you from ongoing letters and phone calls. We can walk you through your legal options for resolving defaults or missed payments, including negotiating agreements with lenders or debt collection agencies to settle your debt problems in a manner that protects your financial interests and allows you to move forward with your life.
