Creditors' Rights Attorneys in North Carolina
When a debtor fails to pay, lenders and creditors need attorneys who can move quickly and effectively to protect their interests, whether the matter is a straightforward collection action or a complex, multi-party dispute headed for bankruptcy court. Manning Fulton’s litigation attorneys represent lenders and other creditors across North Carolina’s state and federal courts.
What We Do
Creditor Representation in State and Federal Court
The experienced litigation attorneys in Manning Fulton’s creditors’ rights practice represent lenders and creditors in the full spectrum of matters creditors face, including:
- Collection actions — pursuing straightforward claims to collect on outstanding accounts and debts;
- Complex multi-party disputes — representing creditors in litigation involving multiple claimants, competing liens, or disputed priority of interests; and
- Out-of-court resolution — pursuing negotiated recovery and workout solutions where litigation isn’t the most efficient path to repayment.
Whether the matter is simple or complicated, our approach is the same: protect our client’s right to recovery as efficiently as the circumstances allow.
Bankruptcy Litigation and Adversary Proceedings
When a debtor files for bankruptcy, a creditor’s rights and recovery options change significantly and the deadlines that govern those rights can move quickly.

Our attorneys’ bankruptcy litigation representation includes:
- Preference claim defense — defending creditors against claims seeking to recover payments received in the months before a debtor’s bankruptcy filing;
- Other asset transfer claim defenses — defending against fraudulent transfer and similar claims seeking to unwind a debtor’s pre-bankruptcy transactions; and
- Adversary proceedings — litigating any other claim by or against a debtor that has been referred to the bankruptcy court, on behalf of creditors seeking to protect or recover their interests
