When bills have become out of control, you are left feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. The last thing anyone in this situation needs is to be harassed or taken advantage of by banks, creditors, collection agencies or payday loan lenders. When you find yourself in a desperate financial crisis, we don’t want you to lose your home, your car, or hope. We want you to know that there are Wisconsin laws designed to protect consumers and debtors who struggle with debt. The laws outlined on this page apply to collection of unpaid bills whether you file bankruptcy or not. Also, these laws continue to offer protection during and even after filing bankruptcy.
As a response to COVID-19 “The CARES Act,” (Federal Stimulus Bill), was signed into law in March of 2020. Under this act are many consumer protections such as suspensions on foreclosure, evictions, student loan forbearance, limits on debt collection, elimination of interest and more. In December “The Continued Assistance Act of 2020” was signed. Most recently, “The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021” was signed. According to the CDC’s data, 48% of the country’s population is vaccinated as of July 12th, 2021. Wisconsin’s vaccinated population is not far behind that estimate. As COVID-19 related protections fade, consumers should begin to review their financial obligations to ensure that there is minimal loss of assets including eviction or foreclosure. If you feel that you may be at risk, talk to a Debt Advisors attorney today to learn your rights and protect what is yours; it’s the single most important thing that you can do right now.
If debt isn’t paid, any silence will be short-lived. Keep in mind, The best way to stop debt collectors is to have a debt resolution or repayment plan in place. Consider Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Filing bankruptcy offers protection for Wisconsin residents who are in serious debt. As soon as bankruptcy is declared, the “automatic stay” is set forth which can stop the actions noted below. For serious debt, bankruptcy has the most effective means to stop legal actions against your property and wages. Timing is of the utmost importance.

Marco Ramirez Mike Georg was extremely helpful during the entirety of my process. He made sure I understood exactly what was going to happen and he was always there to answer any questions I may have had. I really like the fact that I didn’t have to pay all out of pocket at once.

Shetara Johnson I still remember the day when I started my bankruptcy back in 2016. I selected Debt Advisors because a good friend of mine had recommended Atty Mike Georg to me. After we met I was glad that I did select Debt Advisors for many reasons. Mainly, it was the professionalism and care that Mike and his staff showed me throughout the entire process. It felt good knowing that my situation would be taken care of efficiently and in a timely manner. Even after my bankruptcy was discharged Attorney Mike Georg and Debt Advisors have been there for me in 2018 and this 2020. Both times I've needed professional help with things like providing me with documents and forms that I've needed from my case. I strongly encourage anyone looking for debt consultation to visit Debt Advisors for help. They're great at what they do!
Arlandus Morton Bankruptcy is never fun, but this Law Office made it so much easier. If I ever had any questions at all they were answered timely. They even helped me through a rough time when I ended up having to pay taxes and had a big medical exspense too! They were always kind and never made me feel bad for having to do the bankruptcy. They were sympathetic to why and just helped me through it! I recommend them to anyone I know going through this or having to start this process. I know of two of the people I referred who used htem and loved them too! Thank you Debt Advisors Law Offices! Jeremy and Angel thank you personally!
Tami Miller I can confidently say that Debt Advisors is NOT in the business of taking advantage of you in your current situation. Debt Advisors is in the business of helping you get in a better place than you are now. I was there, constantly worrying about this large amount of debt that I owed. Feeling sick to my stomach and unable to sleep at night. Then I talked to Mike. He is genuine and honest. Having him in my corner took this huge weight off my chest. If you are in this place, I highly recommend giving Debt Advisors a call, it is the first step in the right direction.
