When a consumer goes bankrupt, it can be a very frustrating circumstance. Typically, unsecured non-priority claimants in bankruptcy cases get little to nothing of what they are owed. The small dividend is usually paid over the course of 60 months leaving the creditor virtually empty handed. There are many steps involved in the successful and efficient collection of bankrupt accounts including: Knowledge of Chapters 7, 11, and 13 for both secured and unsecured portfolios Handling of adversarial proceedings, preferences and other legal actions Segmentation of portfolios to address individual geographic and account needs Electronic interface with clients, courts and national databases Compliance with all major electronic court systems On-site management with Trustee and debtor attorneys 341 Hearing attendance Challenge to credit abuse cases and selected Chapter 13 plans Skilled attorney and paralegal case management The business model of BDS provides in-depth knowledge by court, trustee and local counsel to ensure compliance with each unique court and trustee requirement.
