Stop Creditors From Calling

After you have filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, your creditors will receive notice of the filing. Once this notice is received by the creditors, an automatic stay is put into effect. This means that any and all creditors are prohibited from continuing collection actions against you. Any calls received may result in the creditors being in violation of the Automatic Stay in Bankruptcy; Violations of the Automatic Stay by creditors may in certain instances subject the creditor to sanctions imposed by the Bankruptcy Court; It may also be a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

Fair Debt Collection Practices

More and more, creditors are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This is a law that was established in order to create guidelines by which creditors and collections agencies must abide. If you have filed for bankruptcy already, you are protected from some of the following actions:

• Creditors calling your home or workplace
• Creditors sending threatening letters
• Agencies continuing to mail bills
• The potential for home foreclosure
• The threat of wage garnishment
