Put an End to Harassing Creditor Calls
Creditors and collection agencies will stop at nothing to collect a debt — even violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), in some cases. If you are facing repeated phone calls, daily collection letters, collection lawsuits or potential wage garnishment, you are not alone. You CAN put an end to creditor collection actions.

Understanding the Bankruptcy Court's Automatic Stay
When your bankruptcy petition is filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the court will issue an "Automatic Stay." The automatic stay is a court order barring any further collection efforts by creditors. The automatic stay can immediately:
- Stop creditors from calling you at all
- Stop creditors from sending any form of collection letter
- Stop foreclosure or delay foreclosure, including a sheriff's sale
- Stop repossession efforts
- Stop garnishment of wages
- Stop bank levies
- Stop lawsuits from proceeding
- Stop all other collection efforts
For many people, it is difficult to realize how real a debt problem is until you receive a foreclosure notice, car repossession notice or wage garnishment. It is important to understand that the automatic stay can provide immediate relief — it happens at the beginning of the bankruptcy filing process, not the end.
