Stopping Creditor Harassment and Wage Garnishments
If you get a sick feeling in your stomach every time the phone rings because you fear that it might be another bill collector, or you hate to pick up the mail because you don't want to see another collection letter, stop worrying. When you file for bankruptcy, all of those things will cease to be an issue for you.
One of the most popular benefits my clients report after filing for bankruptcy is the freedom from creditor harassment. A provision in the bankruptcy code called the automatic stay requires that all collection activity stop immediately as soon as your bankruptcy petition is filed. At the Fairfield, Ohio, law office of R. Dean Snyder, Attorney at Law, I help clients find debt relief and peace of mind through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Protecting Your Rights During Bankruptcy
Preventing creditor harassment while your bankruptcy is in progress does more than just save you from having to deal with rude bill collectors. It also clears the way for the court to effectively manage your case. The automatic stay is effectively a court order forbidding collection activity of any kind, including phone calls, letters, wage garnishments, lawsuits and repossession or foreclosure actions.
Any infraction of the automatic stay is punishable under the law. If you continue to be the victim of creditor harassment after your bankruptcy petition has been filed, refer the creditor to me and I will deal with them directly. I have been a lawyer for over 20 years and I dedicate my entire practice to bankruptcy law. I am committed to helping you through this process in the most stress-free manner possible. You can count on me to be there with you at every step.
