Raleigh, North Carolina Attorneys Handling Mechanics Liens and Collections

Triangle Law Group conducts an active commercial collections practice, which is largely focused on debt collection matters for the construction industry.  While Triangle Law Group represents many construction industry clients who work in North Carolina, such as general contractors, suppliers, and subcontractors, we also represent creditors and debtors in virtually all fields of commercial and personal debt collection including consumer finance companies.  We represent both individuals and businesses, and in most situations, can help with cases of any size.  

There are many federal and state statutes that must be followed when filing a lien and collecting debts.  Attorneys at Triangle Law Group are familiar with these requirements and will ensure that your collections and liens are handled in compliance with these requirements. Because of the complexities of these statutes, it is important that you have legal representation.  If not, you could find yourself failing to comply with a statute and losing your ability to recover the money which you are due or owed.  Or, you could have a legal basis to challenge a collections matter, but lose your rights because you simply do not know what to do or how to respond to a claim alleged against you.

Triangle Law Group handles collections of all sizes and will go to Small Claims Court to prosecute or defend your claim, depending on whether you owe money or are trying to collect money.  All clients receive the same attention regardless of the nature of their case, or the size of their lien or collections matter.   We use state-of-the-art information sources to identify assets as needed in order to collect your money.  

We also handle post-judgment collections matters to enforce judgments on our clients' behalf.   Please see our Judgments page for more information.

• Interpretation and adherence to the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act

• Collection litigation in state and federal courts (bringing lawsuits and defending people who owe money or have been sued)

Our goal is to resolve disputes over debts as quickly and efficiently as possible, regardless of whether we are represent the person who owes money or the person who is trying to collect monies owed.  And, we strive to do this using the most creative and cost effective techniques available.

Our attorneys work closely with clients to determine the scope of the problem and the best legal strategy to collect the debts they are owed. In some cases, this can involve a negotiated solution, which can enable our client to maintain a business relationship with the customer.

Debtor’s Rights

The attorneys at Triangle Law Group have experience representing both commercial and individual debtors in collections actions.  Our office can represent your interest during informal negotiations, and throughout the litigation process.  Our goal is to get you the best result possible given the facts and circumstances of your case.

North Carolina and federal law impose numerous rules and requirements on creditors in collections matters.  Our attorneys can evaluate your case in order to ascertain if these rules and procedures are being followed.  The law provides a remedy where they are not being followed.  We may be able to identify a defense which will limit or prohibit the creditor from recovering against you.

Often collections situations lead to a lawsuit.  No matter what your situation is, it is always best to consult with an attorney sooner rather than later.  North Carolina law offers numerous defenses to a debt collector if you raise those defenses in a lawsuit.  If you fail to raise those defenses, you lose those rights forever.  If you find yourself in a collections lawsuit, it is important to contact your attorney to find out what defenses you may have.  In some cases it may be possible to get the lawsuit dismissed and end the collections completely.  However, if you ignore the lawsuit, you may lose!

Where dismissal is not an option, Triangle Law Group has experienced attorneys who can represent you in state and federal court.   At Triangle Law Group, we solve problems through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration, and litigation.  We truly think outside the box in order to achieve the desired results.

Representing Individual Consumers in Monies Owed Claims

Triangle Law Group attorneys regularly assist individual consumers who owe money to businesses or other individuals.  There are detailed federal and state laws that must be followed when a creditor tries to collect money.  Failure to comply with these requirements can mean that the creditor loses its right to collect money from you.  Contact Triangle Law Group if you are being told you owe money or if you are served with a lawsuit.  We will review your situation and advise you on your legal options.
