“As a Massachusetts Business Owner, How Do I Collect on a Debt?” – Step 3: Collection A Step-by-step Approach to Preventing, Obtaining a Judgment on, and Collecting on Business Debt In my previous article on obtaining a judgment on money owed to a business, I address how Massachusetts business managers and owners can pursue a breach of contract or similar issue which, in effect, creates a debt that is owed to that business. In this article, I review the means by which attorneys enforce and collect on debts for businesses. Let us first dispense with some commonly asked client questions to shed some light on the subject of debt collection generally. “Can’t My Attorney Collect the Debt for Me?” Yes and No. Yes, an attorney can draft and send a letter to a Massachusetts business for the purpose of attempting to collect on a debt. In some instances, such a letter may be a useful tool which demonstrates to the other party that you and your business are serious, and willing and able to proceed to take additional steps, if need be, to collect on the debt. At other times, the other party will ignore the letter or even double down on their intent not to pay what is owed to your business.

FAQs
What does it mean if a case is dismissed?
A dismissal order ends the bankruptcy case before a discharge order enters. When the Court dismisses the case, the automatic stay ends and creditors may start to collect debts again. An order of dismissal does not free the debtor from any debt. Unless the debtor appeals the order or seeks reconsideration of the order of dismissal within 14 days, the Clerk will automatically close the case.
Are my rights in any way limited if I file another case?
Perhaps. Upon the filing of the new case, the automatic stay will be limited to 30 days if a chapter 7, 11, or 13 debtor has had 1 other bankruptcy case pending within one year of the filing of the later bankruptcy petition and that first case was dismissed. The automatic stay shall not go into effect in a bankruptcy case filed by an individual debtor who has had 2 or more bankruptcy cases pending within one year of the filing of a later bankruptcy petition and those prior cases were dismissed. In order to obtain the full protection of the automatic stay in each of the foregoing instances, the debtor must file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court detailing the reasons for the previous case dismissal(s) and any changes of circumstances since that time which would justify the extension or imposition of the automatic stay.
Will I have to appear before the judge?
Every bankruptcy case is different, and every bankruptcy case has its own unique issues. Some debtors go through the bankruptcy process without ever seeing the Courtroom or the judge. Whether you can expect the same will depend on your case and the issues it presents.
What can I do?
If a debt has been discharged, a creditor attempting to collect the debt may be violating the discharge injunction. You should speak with your attorney about the rights you may have.
What about my car payments?
In many cases, if you have a car loan you will be responsible for making regular monthly payments directly to the secured creditor (as with the mortgage payments). In other cases you may pay your car payments to the Trustee through your Chapter 13 plan. This is a decision that you and your attorney will discuss prior to the filing of your plan. If you lease a vehicle and your Plan provides for your retaining the lease, you will be responsible for making regular monthly lease payments directly to the creditor.
