The Automatic Stay Makes It Illegal For Creditors To Call You

When you file for bankruptcy in Georgia, an automatic stay goes into effect. This is a powerful law in the federal Bankruptcy Code that makes any further collection activity illegal. There are a few things that you should know about the automatic stay.

  • It stops any further collection activity, including phone calls, foreclosure, repossession and garnishment.
  • It is automatic. As the name applies, it goes into effect the instant your bankruptcy is filed.
  • It is temporary. The stay stays in effect until your case is closed or dismissed. It is important to note that if a debt was discharged through bankruptcy, the creditor is forever prevented from any further attempts to collect on the debt.
  • It applies to debt that existed at the time you filed for bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy is a complicated process and special rules do apply based on certain circumstances, which is why you absolutely should have an experienced lawyer to help successfully guide you through the process.
