Protecting Your Rights As A Creditor

Businesses rely on revenue to survive. If a customer fails to pay money owed, and if phone calls, letters or other entreaties to collect the debt are unsuccessful, the natural next step is to enlist assistance from a creditor’s rights and debt collection attorney.

In my practice, Mark S. Swan | A Strong & Hanni Attorney, I represent clients throughout Utah as well as businesses from other states that need assistance collecting a debt or protecting their rights in bankruptcy matters. I work closely with every client throughout the entire process to effectively resolve these matters.

Representing Your Rights As A Creditor At Every Step

By taking the time to plan carefully with an experienced attorney in the Salt Lake City area, you can avoid drawn-out negotiations or efforts that come up empty. Often, a demand letter from me is all that’s necessary to generate a response from a debtor. Together, my clients and I can reach an agreement for the debtor to pay in full immediately or reach an agreement on a payment plan.

I handle issues such as:

• Transactional work: I will draft agreements and other documents that ensure your transaction is completed and you are in the best possible position to receive payment.
• Obtaining judgments: If you are not receiving payments from a debtor, the first step is to obtain a judgment from the court. From collection action lawsuits to arranging payment plans, I have a number of different resources we use to help our clients maximize their recovery.
• Enforcing judgments: The skills needed to enforce judgments and collect funds are different than those needed to obtain judgements. I’ll help you review the tools you may use to enforce a judgement, including wage garnishment, bank garnishment, real property execution and judgment liens to apply maximum pressure to get the money you are owed.
• Foreign judgments: Outside of Utah and need to enforce a judgment in Utah? I can help you execute what are known as sister judgments or foreign judgments. With my help, you may be able to collect a debt judgement from any state.

If litigation is necessary, I am an experienced Sandy debt collection attorney with a successful track record of preparing strong cases that produced positive outcomes. For more answers to questions about your rights as a creditor, visit my Creditor FAQ page.
