When you find yourself in a desperate financial crisis remind yourself that there are laws in place to protect Wisconsin residents who struggle with debt. When bills have become out of control, you are left feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. The last thing anyone in this situation needs is to be harassed or taken advantage of by banks, creditors, or payday loan lenders. This kind of treatment is unnecessary and unproductive. After all, it’s a creditors attempt to collect money from an empty pocket. Know what the laws are and consult with your attorney if you have any issues.
Are Banks Calling and Harassing You About Unpaid Debt?
A debt collector can call to collect the unpaid debt but the law states how and when this can be done. Creditors, including banks and payday loan lenders have been known to cross the legal line sometimes in order to collect unpaid debt. The state of Wisconsin acknowledges specific laws which exist to protect consumers and to protect debtors after bankruptcy has been finalized. Some of the key laws are noted and briefly explained below…

My experience with Debt Advisors was truly a blessing in disguise. My wife and I were truly elated to be a part of a first time home buyer program with a well known state agency. This however turned out to be a nightmare We were one of the many who, during the Bush years ended up getting locked into a merciless ,ever increasing mortgage that was supposed to have a fixed rate. After countless attempts to try for modification or refinancing we soon found out the state agency didn't allow for such recourse. We felt the weight of the world was on our shoulders. That was when we decided to try Debt Advisors. Their attorneys were very knowledgeable and assuring. They were a great help in lifting what was a grievous burden. I would recommend their services to anyone.

I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy at Debt Advisors with Attorney Janice Nabke and the entire experience was nowhere near as stressful as I was worried about thanks to Janice who was very caring and dedicated to doing everything she could to make the whole process as simple as possible. Janice is very experienced with Bankruptcy cases and knew every correct step to take and was very detailed in explaining everything that I needed to prepare for and what to expect from beginning to end but what really stood out to me was how nice she was with a great personality so I would like to thank her for all of the hard work she put fourth and would highly recommend her to anybody seeking bankruptcy assistance. I would like to make special mention to Holly Mclure Larson who helped me out more than I could possibly imagine and went far above and beyond my highest hopes and expectations after I was still facing harassment and threats from a VERY aggressive Collection Agency trying to collect on the discharged debt and due to the very gracious help from Holly who is FANTASTIC I feel so much better and cannot thank her and the entire team at Debt Advisors enough.

I had an awesome experience with the entire team at Debt Advisors(D.A.). They made a very stressful and complicated situation very easy. When going into this I thought this process was going to be very long and stressful as I did not know what to fully expect. From my very first meeting to my last I had nothing but an easy and pleasant process. Every one was so knowledgeable and helpful! I could not have asked for a better team to assist me in my time of need. Sending a very big Thank you to all the staff at D.A. you guys are amazing.

Debt Advisors Law Offices rock! I went into bankruptcy not knowing what to expect but Mr. Pietrek who represented me put my mind at ease. Mr. Pietrek answered all of my question in-person and on the phone. I never felt uncomfortable or embarrassed. The amount of money I had to pay was like half the amount I would have had to pay going through ay other firm. If for some reason I had to go through bankruptcy again there would be no one else I would use. Good people good prices great services.

I am so grateful for the Debit Advisors in assisting me to get my life back on track. I have great respect for them. Debit Advisors has integrity! I was in a very difficult situation and they guided me through. They were honest with me about what I could and could not do, what is allowable and not allowable, they got bill collectors off my back and they replied back to me in a timely manner when I had questions. As long as I did my part in the process, they more than did their part.
