I am announcing the formation of Michigan Consumer Credit Lawyers and its new blog

For the past several years, I have blogged about issues affecting debt collectors and their opponents, consumers. Some people have taken issue with the fact that I help both the proverbial Coyote and Road Runner. Too bad. Running a successful law firm such as Nitzkin and Associates has its advantages such as taking the cases that I want to take and representing the people that I want to represent.

I have decided to form an division in my firm dedicated strictly to helping consumers; its called Michigan Consumer Credit Lawyers. The website is still under construction. When it is complete, I will let you know. I anticipate that it will be live in the next few weeks. This new website will contain several self help videos for consumers on issues from what to do when they get sued to how to handle an abusive debt collector. Take heart as we also republishing our Nitzkin and Associates website with many instructional videos too.

The MCCL blog is already up at www.micreditlawyerblog.com. On this new blog, I will talk only about issues that affect consumers who have been wronged by debt collectors, banks, credit reporting agencies and anyone else that would treat a consumer like crap. MCCL's website will be up shortly to coach consumers on what to do when they are faced down by their larger and financially better heeled opponents. We are here for them to even those odds.

We are still and will always be debt collection attorneys. However, we mostly represent businesses and do commercial debt collection and hence, we really have no conflict of interest. I, Gary Nitzkin, will continue to write this blog coaching debt collectors on how to avoid violating the FDCPA and the FCRA.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me, Attorney Gary Nitzkin or call me, tool free at 877-293-2882.

Asset Protection Blog....Its great and I hate it

My friend and colleague, Howard Young, is a partner at a very prestigious firm here in Michigan called Weisman, Young, Schloss & Ruemenapp, P.C. They are business lawyers with a twist. You see, Howard just started a blog that makes me kind of nervous; it deals with Asset Protection Planning. That is just a fancy of way of saying "How to keep your assets away from creditors."

Now Howard is a good friend of mine, but he is on the opposite side of the table from me. I chase people and take their assets. Howard's skill is keeping those assets out my reach and the reach of others. Howard is incredibly bright and creative. His bounds are marked by high ethics. Fighting with Howard over a case is always a difficult thing to do.

I encourage you to check out Asset Protection Planning - - Before and After the Lawsuit.

We have lunch occasionally and the issues that we discuss can get quite heated. I now plan to take our heated discussions public and you can decide who is right and who is wrong on these issues.

Let the games BEGIN!!!!

"Is he really a lawyer" by Jonathan Stein

My colleague, Jonathan Stein, writes a collection law blog from the debtor's perspective. He writes very interesting and insightful pieces. He recently wrote an article describing how a debt collector went to jail for impersonating an attorney and threatening debtors with arrest if they did not pay their bills. Mr. Stein wrote an article in his blog in which he refers to another site that allows one to verify whether an individual is an attorney. I liked this article a lot and thought it had a lot of good information in it. You can now verify whether you are dealing with an attorney or a prankster.

no...its better to receiver from the Receiver

In the last few months, I have drafted dozens and dozens of Motions for a Receiver over debtors who have failed to satisfy the judgments that I have obtained against them.  This effort has been an inordinate success.  Indeed, just last week, I obtained a receiver over a debtor, that I will call Mr. X.  It turns out that Mr. X has several accounts at a well known brokerage house.  Now that I have a receiver appointed over Mr. X, its a simple matter of having the receiver take the funds out of Mr. X's accounts to satisfy the $200,000 that he owes to my client.

I have also found that having a receiver, in many instances, is enough to convince a debtor to pay a judgment voluntarily. 

I have been asking the various courts to appoint Franklin Gettleson, who is a well respected attorney and a certified public accountant.  The courts, without hesitation, have all been agreeable.  I highly recommend this collection technique.  Its effective and will get your money collected.
