Madison County Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
One of the most instant and noticeable benefits of filing for bankruptcy is the automatic stay. The automatic stay was set forth in the Bankruptcy Code to protect individuals from further harassment or collection efforts from creditors after the filing of a bankruptcy petition.
At the Giacoletto Law Office, PC, our Collinsville automatic stay attorney has more than 20 years of experience guiding clients through the emotionally challenging process of filing for bankruptcy. In a difficult economy, individuals can quickly find themselves facing a wall of mounting debt. An experienced lawyer can explain the options available to get a fresh start.
Most individuals who have filed for bankruptcy feel an immediate sense of relief due in part to the automatic stay. There are a number of instantaneous benefits, including:
- Stopping repossessions
- Stopping garnishments or attachments
- Preventing utility shut-offs
- Halting foreclosures and evictions
The automatic stay effectively ends creditor collection efforts. To learn more about how an automatic stay can protect your rights and give you peace of mind, do not hesitate to contact a lawyer at our office for a free consultation.
