When you find yourself in a desperate financial crisis remind yourself that there are laws in place to protect Wisconsin residents who struggle with debt. 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. This kind of treatment is unnecessary and unproductive. After all, it’s a creditors attempt to collect money from an empty pocket.
Harassing Calls About Unpaid Debt
A debt collector can call to collect the unpaid debt but the law states how and when this can be done. Creditors, including banks and payday loan lenders have been known to cross the legal line sometimes in order to collect unpaid debt. The state of Wisconsin acknowledges specific laws which protect consumers and debtors. Even after bankruptcy has been finalized, consumer laws continue to offer protection. Some of the key laws regarding debt collection in Wisconsin are noted and briefly explained below…
The laws outlined on this page apply to collection of unpaid bills whether you file bankruptcy or not. Keep in mind, if debt isn’t paid, any silence will be short-lived. The best way to stop debt collectors is to have a debt resolution or repayment in place. Consider Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 to get out of debt for good. As soon as bankruptcy is declared, the “automatic stay”is set forth which halts actions by creditors. By filing bankruptcy, our attorneys can tackle your debt issues and harassing calls head on. It’s not common, however, if a debt collector attempts to make contact after bankruptcy has been filed, we need to know about it. At Debt Advisors, we are here to help before, during, and after bankruptcy.

My experience with Debt Advisors was truly a blessing in disguise. My wife and I were truly elated to be a part of a first time home buyer program with a well known state agency. This however turned out to be a nightmare We were one of the many who, during the Bush years ended up getting locked into a merciless ,ever increasing mortgage that was supposed to have a fixed rate. After countless attempts to try for modification or refinancing we soon found out the state agency didn't allow for such recourse. We felt the weight of the world was on our shoulders. That was when we decided to try Debt Advisors. Their attorneys were very knowledgeable and assuring. They were a great help in lifting what was a grievous burden. I would recommend their services to anyone.

I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy at Debt Advisors with Attorney Janice Nabke and the entire experience was nowhere near as stressful as I was worried about thanks to Janice who was very caring and dedicated to doing everything she could to make the whole process as simple as possible. Janice is very experienced with Bankruptcy cases and knew every correct step to take and was very detailed in explaining everything that I needed to prepare for and what to expect from beginning to end but what really stood out to me was how nice she was with a great personality so I would like to thank her for all of the hard work she put fourth and would highly recommend her to anybody seeking bankruptcy assistance. I would like to make special mention to Holly Mclure Larson who helped me out more than I could possibly imagine and went far above and beyond my highest hopes and expectations after I was still facing harassment and threats from a VERY aggressive Collection Agency trying to collect on the discharged debt and due to the very gracious help from Holly who is FANTASTIC I feel so much better and cannot thank her and the entire team at Debt Advisors enough.
