What is Bankruptcy?
At its core, bankruptcy is a federal legal procedure designed to help individuals and businesses eliminate or repay their debts under the protection of the bankruptcy court.
​
The moment your bankruptcy case is filed, the court places an Automatic Stay on your accounts. This immediate legal shield forces creditors to stop all collection efforts right away, including:
​
-
Phone calls, letters, and collection lawsuits
-
Active wage garnishments and bank levies
-
Impending foreclosure sales and vehicle repossessions
