Welcome to the California Creditor-Debtor Law Forum!

The purpose of this Forum is to provide a framework for the collection and discussion of creditor-debtor law in California, and to be a resource for collection professionals and debtor planners alike. The hope is that this Forum will develop with an objective view of the law, neither pro-creditor nor pro-debtor.

The descriptions of Divisions, Chapters, and Articles are those which are found in the statutes. However, the description of the statutes themselves has been added -- and may not always be correct or accurately descriptive. So, for instance, if CCP 697.350 is entitled "Lien On Real Property To Extent Of Judgment", that has been added by us, and was not found in the original legislation.

Please Add Materials Often. Again, this Forum is meant to provide a "framework" which invites additions of relevant information -- statutory changes, legislative comments to statutes, court opinions that interpret particular statutes, or even just a plain-English interpretation or one's opinion of the statutes. The more that is added, the more useful the Forum will become.

However, please do not add any copyrighted materials, unless you are the author and owner of the copyright and agree to waive the copyright. Note that there is no copyright for original government works, i.e., statutes, court opinions, etc.

Registration. The Forum can be read by anybody, but new posts will be restricted to professionals or academics who are involved with creditor-debtor law, including attorneys, judgment collection professionals, law students and professors, and the like. The registrations and contributions of governmental personnel, such as judges, briefing clerks, filing clerks, sheriffs and deputies, receivers, trustees, and those who act as "levying officers" are quite welcome.

Registration requires an answer to an anti-spam question, which answer will be provided by one of the Administrators of this board.
