Maryland Debt Settlement & Debt Resolution
Free Consultation Available
If you are facing mounting credit card balances, collection letters, or creditor pressure in Maryland, you may have legal options.
At Ginsburg Law Group, we provide legal representation to Maryland consumers seeking to resolve unsecured debts through negotiation and strategic legal advocacy.
We do not operate a debt relief “program.”
We provide attorney-directed legal services tailored to your circumstances.
What Is Debt Settlement?
Debt settlement (also called debt resolution) involves negotiating with a creditor to resolve a debt for less than the full balance owed or to negotiate structured repayment terms.
Depending on the account and financial circumstances, a creditor may:
-
Agree to accept a reduced lump sum
-
Waive interest or fees
-
Offer structured repayment terms
-
Negotiate resolution prior to or after charge-off
-
Consider hardship accommodations
Creditors are not required to settle, and outcomes vary based on the facts of each case.
Why Work With a Maryland Attorney?
Maryland has strong consumer protection laws, and collection practices are regulated under both state and federal law.
When you retain our firm:
✔ An attorney evaluates your debt and collection history
✔ We assess potential legal defenses
✔ We evaluate statute of limitations issues
✔ We review possible violations of Maryland and federal law
✔ We negotiate directly with creditors or their attorneys
✔ We advise you about litigation risk
If a creditor violates applicable consumer protection laws, we can evaluate whether additional legal remedies are available.
Types of Debt We Handle
We assist Maryland consumers with:
-
Credit card debt
-
Medical debt
-
Personal loans
-
Collection accounts
-
Charge-offs
-
Certain private student loan disputes (case-specific)
-
Pre-litigation settlement negotiations
If you have been sued, litigation representation would require a separate written agreement.
Important Considerations for Maryland Consumers
Debt settlement is not risk-free. You should understand:
-
Creditors may refuse to negotiate.
-
Interest and fees may continue to accrue.
-
Collection activity may continue during negotiations.
-
Credit reporting may be negatively affected.
-
Creditors may file suit before or during negotiations.
-
Forgiven debt may have tax consequences.
We will discuss these risks with you before implementing any strategy.
Transparent Legal Fees
Our firm explains fee structures clearly before representation begins.
Fees are based on legal services performed and are not contingent upon the outcome unless expressly stated in writing.
If you are enrolled in a legal plan (such as MetLife Legal Plan), we can determine whether your coverage applies to debt-related legal services.
