How Does Bankruptcy Affect Lawsuits?

Simply put, in most cases, filing bankruptcy stops civil lawsuits! Creditors are stopped from suing, garnishing, or foreclosing. Credit cards, medical bills, foreclosures, personal loans, payday loans, old utility bills, evictions and many other types of debts are dischargeable through bankruptcy. When a case is filed in bankruptcy court, an "Automatic Stay" is issued which ceases all collection actions against all creditors. This means no more bills in the mail, no more harassing phone calls, no more garnishments and no more lawsuits! People who file Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy recieve protection from lawsuits, meaning there is more than one solution for managing debt with a Geraci bankruptcy!

Lawsuits can have serious consequences in many areas of a person's finances. Lawsuits, if allowed to go to judgment, can end in garnishments, frozen bank accounts, and liens on real estate. Bankruptcy can stop all of this from happening if the debt is eligible and the case is filed in time. Time is a factor when stopping lawsuits, so if bankruptcy sounds like a real option for debt relief, it is generally best to file ASAP.

There are some instances where filing bankruptcy does not stop a civil lawsuit. You should always consult a bankruptcy attorney or law firm to determine whether your lawsuit may be stopped by a bankruptcy discharge.
