We have helped corporate clients defend cases brought against them as well. Take for example our client who a guarantor of his company’s defaulted line of credit. Demand was made on our client by a company that had purchased the line from the bank. Although the guarantee was valid, the fact that the debt had been sold to a third party made a tremendous difference to our client and allowed us to negotiate a payoff figure of 30% of the total outstanding due. Our knowledge of the special rules in New York affecting debt buyers allowed us to negotiate more aggressively on our client’s behalf and insists that the derogatory mark on client’s credit be removed.
