- Child SupportCreditors are allowed to pursue debts that are owed to them through judgments, including wage garnishments, along with repossessions and foreclosures. The law says, however, that there are only certain ways that collection activities can occur. Some types of income and property are protected. Creditors cannot take, for example, welfare checks, Social Security checks, unemployment checks, veterans’ checks or court ordered child support. They cannot touch IRAs or 401(K) retirement plans.

- ForeclosureAre you dealing with overwhelming debt or struggling to pay your bills? You may qualify for Chapter 13, which allows you to catch up on payments and pay off your debt. Chapter 13 is a common form of bankruptcy in which you are able to petition for a court-approved plan where you pay back a portion of your debt. This form of bankruptcy may be recommended if you could lose valuable assets in Chapter 7 or if you are facing foreclosure. At Debt Relief Legal Group, our Tampa bankruptcy attorneys can work with you to determine if Chapter 13 is right for you.
- Debt CollectionCreditors cannot do whatever they like when attempting to collect on a debt.

If this type of behavior has been done against you in an attempt to collect on a debt, you should not hesitate to reach out for legal help.
