Automatic Stays: What To Know
An automatic stay is a powerful tool in bankruptcy protection. It stops creditors from collecting debts once you file for bankruptcy with the court. This includes any kind of:
- Phone calls
- Wage garnishments
- Liens
- Lawsuits
An automatic stay violation occurs when creditors ignore this order and continue their collection efforts. If creditors believe they have grounds to collect, they can file for stay relief. This means they ask the court to lift the stay for their specific debt. If the court grants the stay lift, the debt collector may contact you again and initiate other methods for recovering debts.
Examples Of Automatic Stay Violations
Automatic stay violations are a form of abusive debt collection. These violations can take many forms. Here are some common examples:
- Continuing to call you about debt
- Sending collection letters
- Garnishing wages
- Filing or continuing lawsuits
- Repossessing property
- Wrongful repossession
The consequences of automatic stay violations are serious for those who violate a stay. Creditors may face civil penalties, including paying damages to you. The court may also enforce sanctions against them.
