Debt collection calls can be a constant and overwhelming source of stress for those struggling with overwhelming debt. If you're tired of dealing with these constant calls, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be a solution.
When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect, which stops all collection efforts, including debt harassment calls. The automatic stay is a court order that prohibits creditors from attempting to collect a debt from you, including phone calls, letters, and lawsuits. As soon as your case is filed, creditors must stop all collection efforts, including debt harassment calls.
It is important to note that the automatic stay applies to all of your creditors, including those who are not listed in your bankruptcy petition. This means that even if you have not listed a creditor in your petition, they are still bound by the automatic stay and must stop calling you.
Additionally, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can also provide a permanent solution to debt harassment calls. Once your case is complete, your dischargeable debts will be eliminated, and you will no longer be responsible for repaying them. This means that after your case is complete, your creditors will no longer have a legal right to contact you.
However, it's worth noting that certain types of debts such as child support, alimony and taxes are not dischargeable in bankruptcy and the calls may continue.
In conclusion, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can provide a solution to constant debt harassment calls by stopping all collection efforts through the automatic stay and by providing a permanent solution to dischargeable debts. It's always advisable to consult a bankruptcy attorney who can guide you through the process and help you understand how it may affect your specific case.
