Jocco, this is NOT so much a question of law as it is a strategy question.

1) You ask "what are their rights" thats pretty much covered in the FDCPA Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf

HOWEVER that DOES NOT discharge the debt, its more to protect them from being hassled and limits what debt collectors can and can NOT do.

2) You ask "what can they do" well the debt collectors know they cant get blood from a turnip so they (debtor) have to do their homework and lay out a budget of what they can truly afford to pay, THEN CONTACT EACH CREDITOR and lay it on the line, this is what I can do and be aggressive and assertive and NEGOTIATE.......

DO NOT just let it go, the law favors the creditor so long as the FDCPA is complied with. The spector of BANKRUPTCY instills fear in creditors because if the debtor takes that route and is successful then EACH creditor ONLY gets what the court might order which may be .50 on the dollar or even less. If the debtor is good at communicating with and negotiating with the creditors to the point they realize they may get less (and be afraid of) via bankruptcy they are more willing to negotiate.

I would worry more about and pay any secured obligations over those non secured

Hey I cant answer here what it really takes libraries to fill and also BEWARE of these TV ads where firms act like if you contact them they can solve all yoru credit problems, many are rip offs.

John T BSEE,JD Attorney at Law

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
