Fresh Start: Prevent Creditors from Contacting You
Filing for chapter 13 or chapter 7 bankruptcy protection has many benefits. One of the most beneficial things that happens when filing bankruptcy is, as of the date your bankruptcy is filed, all of your creditors are prohibited from calling you, writing you letters, or taking any further collection activity against you. This means your creditors will no longer be able to call you at home or at work or at all hours of the day and night, they won’t be able to send you nasty collection letters, and they won’t be able to file a lawsuit against you or obtain a writ of garnishment against you.
Q: Who lets my creditors know that I have filed for bankruptcy?
A: The bankruptcy court notifies, by mail, all creditors advising them of:
- That you have filed bankruptcy
- Your bankruptcy case number
- The automatic bankruptcy stay
- The name of the bankruptcy trustee assigned to your bankruptcy case
- The date set for the meeting of creditors (341 hearing)
- The deadline, if any, set for filing objections to the dismissal of your debts through bankruptcy by the creditor.
- Whether and where to file claims
