Chicago Creditor Harassment Attorney

Creditor Abuse and Bankruptcy in Chicago, Illinois

You do not have to deal with creditor harassment. You may have tried to negotiate with creditors or tried to be reasonable with them, asked them to stop calling you and sending you letters, and yet they continue to threaten you, speak to you in a degrading manner or harass you. These attempts may be unlawful in some cases, and you may have the right to take legal action against the creditor or the collection agency. At the very least, filing for bankruptcy may be an option that benefits you in a number of ways – not only stopping creditor harassment but also giving you an avenue to discharge debt and get a fresh start financially.

By talking to a lawyer at our firm, you can find out what options you have in the face of creditor abuse or harassment. You can learn more about bankruptcy and whether this may be a viable option for you. Although many myths circulate about bankruptcy and the consequences it may have on an individual and his or her family, there are many benefits to filing and you may be able to finally achieve much-needed peace of mind.

Filing for bankruptcy places an automatic stay on all debt collection actions, including legal action, lawsuits, and all contact by creditors or debt collection agencies who are attempting to recover the money a debtor owes. It may also stop foreclosure proceedings and give a debtor time to stop and think about his or her options and what to do at this point. Creditor harassment after bankruptcy is illegal, and you do not have to put up with it. Make sure you have a competent attorney at your side to protect your rights in this regard.
