Bankruptcy automatic stay stops creditor harassment

Stop debt collectors

Stop debt collectors

It is extremely stressful when you are unable to pay your bills. It is even more stressful when you are being harassed by collection agents, bill collectors and creditors.  While some creditors and collection agencies abide by the rules for collecting debts, many do not.  They call at all hours of the night, they contact your job and some even show up on your doorstep.  The automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code protect debtors from this abuse.
