What should you do to stop harassment after bankruptcy?
You must know your rights. Creditors in most cases cannot continue to attempt to collect debt that was discharged in your bankruptcy. They can not continue to write or call you. But if they do, you should have a review of the terms of your bankruptcy stay! Contact your bankruptcy attorney or contact us.
Do we have rights after bankruptcy? I still get letters.
There are many rights given to debtors after a bankruptcy. The most far reaching is the so called bankruptcy stay. This occurs after the filing of the bankruptcy and after the discharge. The rights are numerous, but the most important is the right to a fresh start.
How can I stop the calls and letters?
There are many way that you as a consumer can stop these violations. First step is to inform your attorney, (if you used one for your bankruptcy. Bankruptcies can be filed without an attorney.) Your attorney should at no cost or low cost take steps to stop these actions. If you cannot get them stopped then you should consider an adversarial action against the creditor. This is a court action that can be started at no cost to you.
