How Can Bankruptcy
Stop Debt Collectors?
If you’re looking for relief from non-stop phone calls and
e-mails from bill collectors you may be wondering how bankruptcy protection
works. Bankruptcy can stop all collection activity.
When you file bankruptcy an “automatic stay” goes into
effect. Debt collection attempts come to a halt. The action can stop foreclosure proceeding, stop repossession, and even stop wage garnishment and
pending lawsuits. Debt collectors are prohibited from continuing collection attempts,
if they continue without permission make note of the activity and present it to
your bankruptcy attorney. They may be breaking the law.
If you qualify for bankruptcy you can have medical bills,
personal loans, and credit card debt discharged or eliminated. You will not be
responsible for paying them and creditors cannot continue to collect on them
once the court has discharged them.
