When you file a bankruptcy petition with the court, an "automatic stay" is issued. An automatic stay places a stop or hold on all current lawsuits and current collection activities and continues throughout the case. This means that no creditors can call you, send letter, file or continue with a lawsuit, or contact you in any other way in order to attempt to collect on a debt. Doing so would violate federal statute and the offending creditor could face punitive penalties. If you are tired of creditors contacting you, call one of our bankruptcy lawyers today to see if filing bankruptcy is right for you and get those creditors off your back.
