Upon filing of Bankruptcy, whether it is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, “Automatic Stay” takes effect. Under the Bankruptcy Code, Automatic Stay prevents creditor from attempting to collect on a debt, which includes calling you to demand payment.
However, creditors might not know that you filed for bankruptcy. It takes time for the Sacramento Bankruptcy Court or Modesto Bankruptcy Court to mail out notice of bankruptcy filing to your creditors. If you receive creditors’ call after filing bankruptcy, give them your bankruptcy case number and referred them to your Bankruptcy Attorney. Muoi Chea Bankruptcy Attorney will gladly take all creditors’ calls and prefers that clients do not say anything more to their creditors and refer all creditors’ call to Muoi Chea Bankruptcy Attorney Office.
Once creditors learn of your bankruptcy filing, they are to cease collection attempts immediately unless they receive an Order from the Bankruptcy Court permitting them to proceed collection activities, which is very rare.
The Automatic Stay applies to tax collectors and creditors of non-dischargeable debt, who must stop attempts to collect on assets of the bankruptcy estate, until either the debtor receives a bankruptcy discharge or creditors receive a court order that permits them to continue collection activities.
