How to Stop Harassing Phone Calls from Creditors
Stop Bill Collection Harassment
If you are tired of the fear that strikes you every time the phone rings because it might be a bill collector, or the sick feeling you get when you go to pick up the mail in anticipation of another demand letter from a creditor, help is available. Under federal law, once you file for bankruptcy, all collection activity is required to stop immediately.
Getting Back Your Peace of Mind with Automatic Stay
The provision in the law that ends harassment is called the automatic stay. Creditors’ obedience of the automatic stay is important for many reasons. Not only does it give you the time and space you need to get your affairs in order, it also allows the court to manage your case without any outside interference from creditors or other parties.
