Reply to a request to delay enforcement
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- List the judgment date, the sum, the delay the debtor asked for, and any limitation date the lawyer has already written. Do not write the reply.
- What the lawyer must review
- You write the reply. Model Rule 1.4(b) applies to what you tell your client about the request. If the sender is a debt collector collecting a consumer debt, § 1006.26(b) prohibits bringing or threatening a legal action on a time-barred debt, which is a debt whose applicable statute of limitations has expired. The prohibition does not apply to a proof of claim in bankruptcy. You decide whether the debt is time-barred under the state law that governs, and whether the reply threatens suit. Section 1692g(b) says collection during the thirty-day validation period must not overshadow the dispute right. No rule granting a stay on a debtor's request was opened.
