The savings from our debt settlement program are tremendous, and it is the cheapest and fastest debt relief, debt consolidation or debt help option available to consumers throughout New York.If you're overwhelmed with credit cards, medical bills, balances from a repossession, or accounts in collections, call for a free consultation: (877) 274-1260. Pertinent New York Debt Relief and Debt Help Laws (This is intended to be a helpful and informational debt resource for New York consumers and does not constitute legal advice. For legal advice about your situation, contact a licensed professional in New York.)Debt Collection New York (NY) follows the set of federal laws dealing with collection agencies (and law firms that collect debts) that are collectively known as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). For more information on the FDCPA follow this link: debt collection. -Original creditor or creditor collecting own debt must comply with all the provisions of the FDCPA, except those provisions dealing with required disclosures. (For example, the original creditor does not have to verify the debt's validity). New York City (NYC) -Original creditor and debt collector cannot contact a third party more than once when trying to locate a debtor Maximum Interest Rate a Collection Agency Can Charge in New York: 6% New York Wage Protection: 90%; 100% of pay of noncommissioned officer, private, musician in U.S. or NY state armed forces Statute of Limitations A statute of limitations is a law that sets forth the maximum period of time, after certain events, that legal proceedings based on those events may be initiated. For debt, the statutes of limitation apply to the maximum period of time after a consumer has become delinquent on their payments. The key point to remember is that you are considered delinquent not from the date of your last payment, but rather the day after you have gone past due. In other words, if you made your last payment on 3/3/03 and your next payment was due the same day of the next month, the statute of limitations on the debt would not start running until 4/4/04. The statutes of limitations vary from state to state and depend on the type of debt and where the original transaction took place (i.e. if you took the loan out in California but currently live in New York, the applicable statutes of limitations would be California's.)
