When you are behind on paying your bills, you know it. The constant phone calls and mail from creditors and collections agencies cannot make you pay your bills any faster. Rather, the harassing phone calls and constant stream of past due notices serve only to make you feel even more anxious and stressed about your finances.
Our skilled Houston creditor harassment attorneys understand the anxiety and stress that can be caused by phone calls and bills from creditors. Fortunately, relief is available, and it can be available even sooner than you think.
The Maida Law Firm offers a free initial consultation to answer your questions about stopping creditor harassment through filing bankruptcy. We have offices in Beaumont and Houston, and bankruptcy lawyers serve clients throughout southeast Texas and the Texas Gulf Coast.
The Automatic Stay Stops Collection Attempts
When you begin the process of filing bankruptcy with our Texas law firm, you become closer to having the protection of the bankruptcy automatic stay. The automatic stay immediately stops all attempts by creditors to collect debts. This means:
- Foreclosure proceedings will stop
- Vehicle repossession proceedings will stop
- Bank account garnishment will stop
- Collections calls will stop
When our attorneys file your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the creditors will be prohibited from calling you. If you do receive a phone call from a creditor after bankruptcy has been filed, you can tell them to call our law firm. If they continue to call you, the Maida Law Firm will assist you in taking the appropriate legal action for stay violations.
