KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Attorney Chris Rice has launched Rice Park Law, focusing on credit union representation. His extensive background in real estate and restaurant ownership gives him unique insights into business operations and challenges.
- Commercial and consumer collections differ: Commercial loan collections are often more straightforward due to tools like the "confession of judgment" and the use of secured assets. Consumer collections, however, are more complex due to regulations and typically involve unsecured debt.
- Early legal intervention in loan defaults is key. Don’t delay sending default notices and involve legal counsel early in commercial loan defaults. This helps avoid "lender liability claims" and allows for effective workout solutions like forbearance agreements, saving time and money.
