Learn how bankruptcy influences collection efforts and how to properly respond to a bankruptcy.
The filing of a bankruptcy always complicates and in many ways frustrates a creditor's collection efforts. However, there are steps that can be taken and strategies that can be employed to maximize the potential for recovery in such situations. Knowing the bankruptcy process, the types of claims, and certain advantages provided to creditors in the Bankruptcy Code are key in evaluating the best path. Moreover, preparing for a potential bankruptcy while in the process of settling a collection action can often help mitigate the possible clawback of settlement funds in a future bankruptcy. Knowledge of these issues can greatly benefit internal collections and outside collection counsel if and when a bankruptcy is filed.
