The National Consumer Bankruptcy Litigation Center (NCBLC) was founded by national leaders in the field of consumer bankruptcy law. These consumer bankruptcy attorneys from across the country have come together to enforce consumer protection laws and create an environment of economic justice for American consumers throughout the United States.
For years, the credit and collection industries have gotten away with blatantly disregarding state and federal laws designed to protect consumers like you. Post-bankruptcy consumers are especially vulnerable; by NCBLC estimates, bankruptcy discharge violations like post-discharge collection efforts and inaccurate credit reporting occur in virtually every bankruptcy case. And, if you've filed for bankruptcy, you may have difficulty finding affordable legal counsel to enforce your post-discharge rights.
That difficulty has, traditionally, given the credit and collection industries a tremendous advantage, to the detriment of honest consumers like you who couldn't enforce their rights. Now, they're losing that advantage. The NCBLC partners have had enough, and we're leveling the playing field. We've joined forces to fight the unscrupulous creditors and collection agents who would deny you the fresh start guaranteed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Already, NCBLC attorneys are leading the way in enforcing existing consumer protection laws, while creating innovative consumer-friendly case law. If you've received a discharge in bankruptcy and your creditors are still seeking to collect from you, discharged items are still appearing on your credit report, or collection agencies or debt purchasers are telling you that they aren't covered by your bankruptcy discharge because they're a different company, you're not alone anymore. NCBLC has the knowledge, the resources, and the manpower necessary to lead the battle for economic justice for American consumers.
