One of the most immediate benefits of filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the automatic stay. Essentially, the automatic stay is a function of the bankruptcy process that forces a collection agency to stop their efforts from the moment a bankruptcy petition is filed with the court. Collection efforts can include:
- Harassment
- Letters
- Lawsuits
- Wage garnishments
- Bank levies
- Utility shut-offs
Debt collection laws, such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), provide a significant amount of protection to debtors who are facing challenges. Once an attorney is retained, creditors or collection agencies must follow strict guidelines about when, how often and who they can contact regarding the repayment of debts.
After you file bankruptcy, any collection inquiry can be ended with a simple “Contact my attorney.” Let us help you regain peace of mind and finally breathe a sigh of relief.
