Can Bankruptcy Stop a Lawsuit?
Yes! Through a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may be able to stop a lawsuit. Through bankruptcy's automatic stay, you can put a stop to most creditor collection efforts, including lawsuits, auto repossessions and harassing collection calls.
What if a Judgment Has Already Been Entered?
Even if a judgment has been entered, bankruptcy can put a stop to creditor collection efforts. From the moment your bankruptcy application is filed with the bankruptcy court, the automatic stay goes into effect. Your creditors must cease further collection efforts at that time, including any effort to garnish your wages
Certain debts such as student loans, child support and certain tax debts may not be discharged. An experienced bankruptcy lawyer can help you understand your rights and options.
