US Debt Relief: Creditor Law Group Wipes Out $1B+
Creditor Law Group has made a significant impact by nullifying over $1 billion in debt for households across the US, providing relief amidst record-high levels of household debt.As the popularity of debt relief options such as debt invalidation grows, the complex process offers relief by challenging the validity of debt.
Optimal results are achieved by working with specialized lawyers in this field.
"One common method to invalidate debt is to challenge the validity of the related documentation.
During reviews of the relevant paperwork, we have often found that important information is either missing or incomplete.
Sometimes, a creditor may lack the proper documentation to prove that the debt is valid.
In certain cases, debt invalidation can be based on violations of consumer protection laws, as when a creditor engages in unfair or deceptive practices.
Typical violations include harassment by debt collectors, misrepresentation of the amount owed, or unauthorized charges."
