What Is an Automatic Stay?
Upholding Bankruptcy Protections on Your Behalf
When you file bankruptcy, all collection actions must cease. A collector violates the law if they call you or otherwise continue collection actions after receiving notification of your bankruptcy filing. This injunction is called an automatic stay, and it takes effect as soon as you file bankruptcy. Your creditors are immediately prohibited from calling you, sending you collection notices, foreclosing your home, initiating or continuing lawsuits, and much more.
At Seattle Consumer Justice, PS, we help clients take full advantage of this protection. We also file lawsuits against creditors, lenders, and debt collectors who have violated the automatic stay. By taking these violators to court, we have stopped them from repossessing our clients’ cars, foreclosing their homes, and relentlessly contacting them after they have filed bankruptcy. As one of the few law firms that handles debt-related litigation, we are fully prepared to fight for your rights and help you keep your funds and assets.
Call (206) 483-0505 or contact us online to learn more about the automatic stay from our Seattle legal team.
