Can a debt collector from Ohio garnish your Fla wages?

I perform consumer collection management of past due accounts, aged receivables, and down the list all the way to legal collections. While performing collections for a finance company that specializes in creditor's rights during bankruptcy proceedings my job entailed being attentive to detail as I'd pursue debtors to other states. I don't believe in harassing NEVER had to use any of those cowardly tactics. I aim at a win-win objective where customer & client mutually gain.

Your best bet is to review the laws of each state. Whether the debt collector has his own legal dept they still have to present themselves at court and 'if' they are awarded a judgment than they can execute. Not many collection agencies would consider litigation unless they're pursuing a substantial balance as they still have to account for fees & cost upfront, which, later they will add it on to the balance.

I offer a bit of advice as I'm against abusive collectors that are quick to judge and don't offer options whether they're retained by the client. My advice to you is don't evade the problem and face it technology will rewrite the laws and everything will be based on credit from obtaining employment to renting. If I offer reasonable negotiations by scheduled payments, discounts and even hardship programs I'm sure other collectors do, too. Plus, there are laws that show you steps on how the collector is to behave when contacting you. Give it a try and best of luck.

Can a creditor or debt collection agency access your business bank accounts for debt collection?

With a judgment and execution, the sheriff can. Without it no. But the collection agency can never legally access it. However, there are ways to do it illegally. Can the creditor do it... ? If you have a citizens acct and a debt with them, then yes, they can legally access whatever accounts you have with them. But a creditor can't just get access to you bank accounts.

Are children responsible for a parents debt after their death in Colorado?

No. The dead persons belongings - house, car, money bank accounts, shares, jewellery - (everything they had when alive that was theirs) forms what is called the deceased's 'estate'.

The person who is appointed to look after the estate (the executor) should use the funds in the estate to pay any debts that the dead person had (BEFORE ANYBODY INHERITS ANYTHING).

If the money in the estate is not enough to meet the debts then this is hard luck on the people who are owed money.

The debt does not pass to the children.

Is it legal to reissue a warrant after you sell it to a collection agency?

In general, once a creditor sells a debt to a collection agency, they transfer the rights and ownership of that debt to the agency. As a result, the collection agency becomes responsible for attempting to collect the debt. In most cases, the original creditor no longer has the authority to reissue a warrant or take direct legal action against you for that specific debt.

However, laws regarding debt collection can vary by jurisdiction, and there may be specific rules or regulations that could impact the ability to reissue a warrant in certain circumstances. It's essential to consult with a legal professional who is knowledgeable about debt collection laws in your area if you have concerns or questions about your specific situation. They can provide guidance tailored to your circumstances and the applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

How long can a creditor hound you for an unpaid debt?

There is no time period in which a creditor/collector must cease attempts at collecting a valid debt.

All US states have statutes of limitations for debts owed. The SOL is the time alloted for the creditor to file suit against the debtor to collect monies owed. The expiration of the SOL is not always a guarantee of not having to pay a valid debt(s), certain circumstances are applicable.

It is the legal right of the debtor to inform the creditor/collection agency that they do not wish to be contacted about the debt either by phone, email, postal service, etc. If the debtor wishes to take such action he or she should send a "cease and desist letter" to the creditor(s) requesting that collection attempts should be ended. The correspondence should be precise and sent via registered mail with a return receipt requested in case proof is needed of the action having been taken.

Can a foreclosure be removed from credit if bank goes out of business?

While the record of the foreclosure is valid and should remain regardless of the fate of the bank, technically it may be possible to remove it from your credit. Like any other item on your credit report you must dispute it. If you can supply reasonable evidence that the debt item is not yours, the credit agencies (Trans Union, Experian & Equifax) have 30 days to verify that the debt item is yours and reporting correctly. If the bank is no longer operating this may not be possible. However, if the bank was purchased by another entity or its records are otherwise managed by an exisiting company, verification may be possible.
