Stopping Creditor Harassment & Garnishments
Let Birmingham Bankruptcy Lawyer Paula Greenway Stop Credit Harassment and Garnishments
Harassment from creditors can be a serious problem, especially when those calls follow you to work. Many people end up losing their jobs because of constant, harassing calls from bill collectors. This does not have to happen to you. There are ways to put an immediate stop to harassment, garnishments, lawsuits and other adverse creditor actions.
At Greenway Law, LLC, in Birmingham, Alabama, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and determine if Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the best solution to your debt problems.
Stopping Creditor Harassment
There are many different types of creditor harassment:
- Calling your neighbors
- Calling your employer
- Calling your cell phone repeatedly
- Threatening you with jail (which is an empty threat − no one in the United States can go to jail for not paying a bill, unless it's a tax bill)
You don't have to worry about picking up the phone. Once you file bankruptcy, your creditors will be barred from contacting you.
In some cases, attorney Paula Greenway has successfully sued companies for illegal debt collection practices, such as posting your Social Security number on a claim or filing claims which are invalid. She can also dismiss bills that you aren't obligated to pay, such as old debts that are past the applicable statute of limitations.
Stopping Garnishments
If you have debt problems, your creditors can try to garnish your wages or your bank account to collect payment. If you have received a notice that a garnishment has been filed and will soon make its way to your bank account or payroll department, call us immediately. Lawyer Paula Greenway can file an emergency bankruptcy petition to stop the garnishment.
