Florida Bankruptcy Attorney
One of the greatest benefits reported by our business and individual bankruptcy clients after the filing of their petition is the end of the harassing phone calls and letters from creditors. With very few exceptions, all collection activity must stop as soon as your bankruptcy petition is filed with the court. This is all because of a provision in the bankruptcy laws called the automatic stay.
At the law firm of Buddy D. Ford, P.A., our Tampa creditor harassment lawyers represent clients throughout the state of Florida in all areas of bankruptcy law, including Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13. We dedicate our entire practice to bankruptcy law and we are committed to seeing that your rights are protected throughout the process.
Ending Creditor Harassment
Ensuring that creditors honor the automatic stay is important for many reasons. Not only does it give you the space you need to get your financial affairs back in order, it also allows the court to manage your case without interference. If a creditor continues to pursue collection activity after it has been notified of your bankruptcy, it is effectively in violation of a court order.
If you continue to receive harassing phone calls from creditors, refer them to our office. We will deal with them and explain that their debt is being handled through bankruptcy court. We will advise them of your rights under the automatic stay and request that any future communication come through our office.
