Creditor and Debtor

Creditor and debtor law includes the rights and obligations of (1) creditors who extend credit and make loans to consumers and businesses and (2) consumers and businesses who seek credit and loans for their personal and business finances. Creditor/debtor law consists primarily of state and federal statutes.

In Arkansas, creditor and debtor law is governed by both state statutes and federal laws that outline the rights and obligations of creditors and debtors. Creditors include individuals or entities that extend credit or make loans, while debtors are consumers or businesses that obtain credit or loans for personal or business purposes. State laws in Arkansas cover various aspects such as the creation of security interests, the enforcement of debts, and the rights of debtors to exempt certain property from creditors in the event of bankruptcy or other collection actions. Additionally, federal laws such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) regulate the behavior of debt collectors, and the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) requires clear disclosure of credit terms to consumers. Arkansas also has specific statutes that address issues like interest rates, usury limits, and other consumer protection regulations that affect creditor and debtor relationships.
