A 11254 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Removes certain language relating to requests for reconsideration of creditor determinations

This bill modifies a section of the general business law to remove specific conditional language regarding how debtors can ask creditors to review decisions to restart collection efforts. Under the current text, a debtor receiving notice that collections will resume has thirty days to request a reconsideration, submit additional proof of coerced debt, and expect the creditor to review the case within thirty days. The amendment simplifies these provisions by deleting the bracketed statement that clarifies making such a request is not a requirement for filing a legal action. This change affects debtors and creditors involved in collection disputes but does not alter the core process or the ability to seek legal recourse.
