If you are in debt and continually being harassed by creditors, it is in your best interests to speak with an experienced Phoenix debt collection defense lawyer at Hilltop Law Firm by calling (602) 466-9631.

What Is Debt Collection Defense?

Creditors and collection agencies can put an enormous amount of pressure on debtors to get the money they are owed. In some cases, their collection efforts may take the form of harassment. In other cases, creditors may take legal action against individuals who owe them money. A skilled Phoenix, AZ debt collection defense attorney can:

What Are Some Common Types of Debt Collection Practices?

  • Contacting a debtor who is represented by an attorney
  • Contacting a debtor after receiving a letter asking them to stop
  • Impersonating an attorney or a police officer
  • Calling repeatedly in a harassing manner
  • Calling before 8:00 am or after 9:00 pm
