Call us today at (619) 639-9228 to learn more about how we can help you obtain automatic stays for your debt.
What Is an Automatic Stay?
When you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay is immediately issued by the court. This order temporarily halts any collection actions against you. It also prevents foreclosure, repossession, and eviction.
The automatic stay will last until your bankruptcy case is over. It may be lifted if the creditor gets a court order, but it is rare for this to happen.
Debt Collection Harassment
Debt collection harassment is a serious problem. If you are being harassed by creditors, we can help you obtain an automatic stay to stop the harassment.
Debt collection harassment can involve many different tactics, from repeated phone calls to threats of arrest or even physical harm. If you are being harassed by creditors, you should contact our San Diego bankruptcy attorneys at Debt Relief Legal Clinic as soon as possible.
What Bankruptcy Can Do for You
Bankruptcy is a very powerful tool that can help you eliminate debt, stop lawsuits, and even help you keep your property. Bankruptcy can also give you the time and freedom you need to reorganize your finances and get your life back on track.
Our San Diego bankruptcy attorneys can help you determine if bankruptcy is right for you and can help you obtain automatic stays for your debt if you decide that bankruptcy is the best option for you.
If you are considering bankruptcy and would like to learn more about how you can obtain automatic stays for your debt, contact us at (619) 639-9228.
