Collections

New York City Collections Attorney

When handled by a skilled lawyer, collections cases can be resolved with a quick proceeding. However, it is critical that the matter is handled appropriately to ensure compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

The law firm of Costello & Costello, PC handles collections cases in New York City and New Jersey. Our collections attorney represents clients in collections disputes between businesses, medical providers and patients, lenders and debtors, and others.

• Breach of contract: In many cases, collections litigation involves a simple breach of contract-one party failed to uphold their end of the contract. We evaluate the terms of the contract, including terms for payment as well as the rights and obligations of each party.
• Cost-benefit analysis: In some cases, the issue of nonpayment is clear. However, it may not be in the best interests of our client to move forward with a collection proceeding if the location of the holder is unknown or if the holder does not have assets to make payment. Our collections lawyer provides careful cost-benefit analysis in order to enable clients to make an informed decision about moving forward with a debt collection proceeding.

We handle collections disputes ranging from personal debts and promissory notes to commercial debt or credit card debt which has been passed on to debt collectors.
