What is the Automatic Stay?
The Automatic Stay is activated once your case is filed by your bankruptcy attorney and it means creditors must cease any and all collection activities.
Collection activities include:
- Phone calls
- Lawsuits
- Garnishments
- Set-offs
- Repossessions
- Foreclosures
As your bankruptcy attorney, we advise that you keep your case number and any related information on hand, as the Automatic Stay can take a number of weeks to process.
