INCREASE RECOVERIES

We are not just a collection agency... We file suit, obtain judgments, record abstracts on real property, garnish wages, levy bank accounts, and increase your recoveries.

REDUCE LENDER LIABILITY

High recoveries and low costs are useless if your credit union is exposed to lawsuits stemming from errors. Our first priority is to protect the credit union. That’s why we know credit union law. We inform you when not to sue or when your paperwork or procedures will get you into trouble.

SERVICES

We provide relief from stay, which permits us to take action against the debtor or the property of the estate

We submit proof of claim forms. As a general rule, a creditor should file a Proof of Claim as soon as the Notice to Creditors is received, or the creditor finds out from the debtor or a third party that the bankruptcy has been filed.

Plan of Reorganization: Should the debtor chose to reorganize under the provisions of Chapter 11 or Chapter 13, the creditor may receive payment. In the event of a reorganization there are numerous opportunities for the creditor to be involved, in addition to some responsibilities to ensure payment. These issues include but are not limited to valuation, good faith, best efforts and claim issues. Our staff of in house attorneys are equipped to deal with
these esoteric matters.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999: GRANT & WEBER’s in-house legal staff is always ensuring that we act under strict compliance with all state legislations and that we are in accordance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 in regards to all bankruptcy issues and credit union collection matters.
