Bankruptcy FAQs

If my creditors ignored the automatic stay, what could be done?

Make sure the creditor is aware that you filed bankruptcy and ask it to stop collection efforts.

If the creditor does not respond, you may seek a court order enjoining the creditor from further action.

If you are an individual and are injured by your creditor's willful failure to comply with the automatic stay, the law allows you to recover actual damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, and, in some circumstances, punitive damages.
