Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)

Creditor Harassment and Bankruptcy Law Firm
In either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, protection from debt collection by creditors begins right away once your bankruptcy case is filed. At the time of a bankruptcy, creditors will receive a notice from the court that you have filed for bankruptcy. If a creditor contacts you after receiving this notice, they could be in violation of the court order.
An automatic stay also provides protection from other legal actions such as:
- Liens on your bank account or paycheck
- Repossession of your property
- Pending lawsuits or litigation regarding your debt
- Sheriff's sales of your property
- Wage garnishments
- Collection of back taxes owed to the government
The automatic stay does not apply to some actions which have already been filed:
- Pending divorce
- Criminal proceedings
- Tenant-eviction actions
With nearly 40 years of experience in bankruptcy law, our attorneys will use their skill and experience to put an end to creditor harassment.
