Stop Debt Collectors in Their Tracks with Bankruptcy's Automatic Stay

Are you drowning in debt? Feeling overwhelmed by harassing phone calls, letters, and threats? Bankruptcy might be the lifeline you need. One of the most powerful benefits of bankruptcy is the automatic stay, a legal shield that stops debt collectors in their tracks.

Imagine this: The moment you file for bankruptcy, all collection efforts against you must cease. Creditors have to stop calling, wage garnishments end, and even foreclosure or repossession actions are put on hold. This gives you the breathing room you need to get back on your feet.

Here's how the automatic stay can help you:

• Silence the Debt Collectors: No more harassing phone calls or threatening letters.

• Protect Your Paycheck: Stop wage garnishment and keep more of your hard-earned money.

• Save Your Home and Car: Halt foreclosure and repossession actions.

• Get Your Utilities Back: In some cases, prevent utility shut-offs.

• Gain Peace of Mind: Finally get relief from the stress of debt collection.

The automatic stay gives you a chance to:

• Explore your options: Work with a bankruptcy attorney to create a plan for your financial future.

• Negotiate with creditors: Potentially reduce your debt or work out payment plans.

• Get a fresh start: Discharge eligible debts and rebuild your credit.

How long does the automatic stay last?

It depends on the type of bankruptcy you file. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it typically lasts until your case is discharged (usually 3-6 months). In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it remains in effect throughout your repayment plan (3-5 years).
