Every business has customers who fail to pay their bills. When debt collection becomes a problem, getting legal help may be the solution.
If you’re struggling with credit card debt or medical debt and are unsure what to do, or are dealing with challenging creditors or a debt collection lawsuit, working with a collections lawyer can help you determine what legal options you have. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) forbids harassing or threatening phone calls or text messages on the part of debt collectors, and having legal representation helps you protect your legal rights throughout the collection process.
A LegalShield membership offers consultation with a provider lawyer on an unlimited number of business legal matters related to debt collection to help keep you informed of your legal rights.
If you’re having difficulty collecting debt but you want to continue to handle it yourself, you can contact your provider law firm to see if your improved strategy is legally compliant.
The consultation benefit enables you to get legal advice on an unlimited number of business legal matters beyond debt collection. However, this does not include business legal matters specifically covered under the designated consultation benefit.
Another valuable benefit attached to a LegalShield membership is the ability to submit documents, (15 to 25 pages, depending on the type of plan), to your provider lawyer for review and feedback. Depending on the type of plan, a designated number of documents are included each month at no additional charge.
If you’re unsure about debt collection requirements as they relate to an agreement signed by the debtor or you have drafted a debt collection letter you’d like a lawyer to review, you can submit documents right in the LegalShield app. Your provider lawyer will provide feedback to make sure you’re following the law.
All of our small business plans include lawyer-drafted debt collection letters created on their law firm letterhead and sent to the debtor on your behalf. Depending on the type of plan, a designated number of debt collection letters each month are included at no additional charge as part of your membership.
Not only does this save you time and stress, a debt collection letter from a lawyer’s office lets the debtor know you are serious about the matter, plus you get to keep 100% of any funds collected.
Like other plan benefits, your provider lawyer can provide a letter on your behalf or make calls on your behalf for legal matters beyond debt collection. If customers owe you money or you have other business legal needs, a LegalShield membership really is a no-brainer.
