- BankruptcyIf you are stuck with insurmountable debt, you may think considering bankruptcy means giving up. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Filing a Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be a way to wipe the slate clean. It can be a pathway toward fresh beginnings and renewed financial health.
- ForeclosureThe filing of a bankruptcy case stops all collection efforts, irrespective of the stage. The Bankruptcy automatic stay comes into effect immediately upon filing of the bankruptcy case. This stay is very powerful and it stops creditors from contacting you by phone or in writing. The stay also stops creditors from pursuing lawsuits, foreclosures, garnishing wages, seizing funds from your bank account and repossessing vehicles.
- Debt CollectionThere are legal options for stopping creditor harassment and wage garnishment. You may have heard that it's illegal for creditors to engage in abusive debt collection practices under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. While that's true, unfortunately, much of the law has no teeth. Creditors often ignore it knowing they will only have to pay a small fine.
