Immediate Relief from Creditors
Filing a bankruptcy case automatically prevents creditors from taking any action to collect on debts which arose before the case. Examples of creditor actions which can be immediately stopped include lawsuits, wage garnishments, evictions and foreclosure actions. Creditors can not take any action to collect on a debt, and they can not even call or write to you once your bankruptcy case is filed. If you face foreclosure or eviction, filing bankruptcy may be an effective means of buying more time to make your payments.Since the Court usually takes several days to several weeks to mail creditors notice of the bankruptcy, your attorney may want to give actual notice of the case to creditors. When you meet with Mr. Gauss, he will discuss any need for immediate action and take the proper steps to protect your rights.
Anyone who willfully violates the automatic stay is liable for the damages caused by the violation and sometimes may be hit with penalties.
