Ending Creditor Harassment and Wage Garnishment
The automatic stay is the court order that is automatically entered and becomes effective when a bankruptcy case is filed. This order stops creditors from further collection actions against the debtor or the debtor’s property. In other words, the automatic stay stops creditor harassment, wage garnishments, auto repossessions, and foreclosures.

With the automatic stay, most garnishments, including garnishments for federal taxes will stop. The automatic stay also prevents creditors from harassing the debtor with letters and phone calls threatening garnishments, lawsuits and repossessions. The automatic stay continues until the bankruptcy process is complete. With an automatic stay, the debtor is protected from any contact by creditors throughout the bankruptcy process.
In addition to garnishments and collections ceasing, an automatic stay often stops actions such as suspending a drivers license, pending lawsuits or foreclosures. For more than 40 years, the law office of George T. Carlson and Associates has been handling bankruptcy cases and can provide knowledgeable legal guidance.
