Stopping harassing debt collection calls.

The phone rings, but if it’s not on caller ID it goes unanswered. The mail piles up unopened. Life, it seems, goes on hold for some people when bill collectors start to contact them. They don’t have the money to pay so there are no answers.

Debt collectors, like humans, come in all sorts of forms. Some are quiet and mannerly. Others are loud and harassing. But they all want to know when you’re going to pay the bill. With interest and late fees and legal charges attached. Collection letters are printed on colored paper, as if that’s going to get the bill paid faster.

There are many reasons why people fall behind on their debts. Medical bills. Job loss or cutbacks at work. Divorce. Financial emergencies. People fall to the temptation of overspending on credit cards. Others take out a payday or title loan and can’t ever seem to get it paid off.

Bankruptcy will stop the harassing collection calls and letters because it ends the debt as well as starting the process of getting your credit – and your life – back.

The benefits of consumer bankruptcy:

• You get a fresh financial start. Your debts are forgiven or you can elect to pay all or an affordable part of the balance over a period of time – up to five years.
• Your credit report and credit score (which would have been damaged by the overdue debts) can start to recover and be rebuilt.
• A home foreclosure or vehicle repossession may be stopped immediately. If fact, a bankruptcy may lower your car payment significantly and may strip away a second mortgage on your home if the current value is less than the first mortgage amount.
• The harassing calls and collection letters will stop.
