Filing bankruptcy creates an automatic stay under bankruptcy law that stops all collection processes, and provides you with a discharge wiping out all of your debts. With the help of an expert bankruptcy attorney, you will stop harassing phone calls, stop foreclosure of your home dead in its tracks, stop a lawsuit, and avoid wage garnishment. There are many other protections available to you, which your lawyer can utilize to protect your legal rights.
Stop a Lawsuit
Having a process server show up at your door and hand you a lawsuit can be an unwelcome and stressful situation. You are now faced with the reality that your credit card lender or other creditor has sued you with the intention of going after your assets. Any creditor with a judgment against you can put a lien against your property that you currently own or hereafter acquire. The lien can be used to conduce a foreclosure, or more commonly, the creditor will sit on the lien until you sell your property and then get paid with interest. It is in your best interest to resolve this before a lien is placed against your home. An experienced bankruptcy lawyer can help you stop a lawsuit, wipe out the underlying debt, and protect your assets.
Wage Garnishment
Creditors know that the mere threat of garnishing your wages will get your attention since most people don’t want their employer and coworkers to know about their finances. If you need to file a bankruptcy to get out of debt, it is clearly in your best interest to do it before your employer is served. Once your employer is served with a wage garnishment, it places your finances in the spotlight at your workplace. It’s best to remain discrete as possible and file a bankruptcy before a garnishment has begun.
The Many Benefits a Bankruptcy Lawyer Can Help You Achieve

You can eliminate your credit card debt, medical bills, overdue collection accounts, and most other types of debt. Bankruptcy can stop foreclosure of your home.
