Florida Consumer Protection Lawyers
Stopping Wrongful Creditor Actions & Harassment
At The Dellutri Law Group, PA, we believe that, when push comes to shove, it’s necessary to stand up to debt collectors who act like bullies. If you are facing a big bad wolf in the form of a creditor or debt collector, chances are pretty good they are breaking both state and federal consumer protection laws.
We are dedicated to helping consumers who have been cheated, bullied, or hoodwinked and who have no idea of the protections afforded to them by both state and federal laws. Many people give the bullies what they want to avoid prolonged stress because they do not know how to protect themselves.

“My husband and I are so grateful to Mr. LoTempio for helping us
through a very difficult period. It just seemed like things were never
going to go our way. Joe worked very closely with us as our lawsuit unfolded.
I repeatedly relied on his instincts, and he did not let me down. Now
I feel like we have finally received the justice we deserved after being
blindsided with a huge debt we did not owe. I highly recommend Mr. LoTempio—you
couldn't ask for a more professional, courteous, and attentive attorney.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q:Do I need a credit card lawyer?
A:Is your credit card company suing you for your debt? As if the debt by itself weren’t enough, threatened litigation can be an incredibly overwhelming situation to find yourself in. You may want to hire an attorney to help you through, but you may also have hesitations about the fees on top of all of the other money you owe. Considering all of this, you’ll want to make sure you have a very good defense or counterclaim moving forward. Just a few factors that indicate you might want to hire an attorney include: the creditor is harassing you, the statute of limitations has passed, or the creditor cannot prove you owe the debt. And of course, if you have any uncertainty, The Dellutri Law Group, PA is here to advise you.
-
Q:What is the statute of limitations for debt in Florida?
A:A creditor typically has five years to sue you after you incur debt with them. This means that if your credit company is trying to bring a lawsuit against you, and it has been over five years, hiring an attorney is a good idea. However, some types of debt have their own specifications for a statute of limitations. If your debt is for personal injury or property damage, the time is four years. For unpaid property tax, it is 20 years. For fraud, it is 12 years. And for unpaid alimony, there is no time limit.
-
Q:What is considered harassment by a creditor? Do I need an attorney?
A:There are several different forms of harassment by creditors. The most popular are constant phone calls intended to upset you, abusive language such as profane words or threats of harm, publishing your debt information publicly, and refusing to tell you who they are when contacting you. They should also not be intentionally misleading, as in the case of telling you that you may be arrested or that you are speaking to a lawyer when you're not. If you have any suspicions that your debt company is harassing you, you should speak to an attorney.
-
Q:When should I hire a student loan lawyer?
A:It is a good idea to hire a student loan lawyer if you have either private or federal loans and are being sued, have a loan servicer or debt collection agency that is harassing you, or you need an advocate for serious issues surrounding your loans. Trusting a for-profit loan servicer will not ensure your best interests are being looked after.
