Bankruptcy Attorney Serving Houston

What Happens When I File?

What will happen when you file for bankruptcy? What can you expect? These are important concerns to be addressed if you or someone you love is considering filing for bankruptcy in the Houston area. Understanding what comes next may play an important role in helping you make the right decisions for your unique financial situation.

After you file your bankruptcy petition, an automatic stay will be issued by the bankruptcy court. This prevents any type of further collection activity by creditors or debt collectors, including lawsuits. This is the first step in experiencing relief from overwhelming debt. Without constant contact by creditors, foreclosure looming in the future and without your wages being garnished, you can finally breathe easily and focus on getting out of debt once and for all. Filing for bankruptcy will protect your pay from garnishment, your property from repossession and your home from foreclosure. It will protect you from being evicted even if you are behind on your rent. It will also bar any debt collection lawsuits you may be facing at this time.
