After you file for bankruptcy, creditors must stop all collection efforts. You are protected from their harassment under a provision of the Bankruptcy Code called the "automatic stay." In some cases, you or your attorney should contact the creditor immediately after filing the bankruptcy petition, especially if a lawsuit is pending or if repossession of cars or personal property is imminent.
You can be assured that the calls will stop in two ways:
Once the bankruptcy is filed, your attorney will assume all responsibility for communicating with your creditors. A creditor may be liable for court sanctions if it continues to use collection tactics once informed of the bankruptcy.
