How The Collection Process Works When Your Accounts Are Delinquent

Falling behind on credit card payments, personal loans or other debt will set off a process that begins with receiving late notices and late fees charged to the account. After payment is late by 30 days, creditors will begin calling and sending additional notices. They’ll also file reports with credit agencies to inform them that you’re late on payment.

Should a debt enter the area of being four months past due, creditors contact a collection agency and take the debt as a loss. Efforts to contact them will be referred to the collection agency. Phone calls, letters, threats of wage garnishment and lawsuits are all used by these agencies.

The collection agencies will attempt to find out as much about your financial situation as possible in order to determine what legal action they can take against you. It is crucial at this point that you retain a bankruptcy lawyer to help protect your rights.

Should a lawsuit be filed and a judgment entered, your bank account and paycheck could be garnished.
