Understanding Creditor Harassment

Creditors and debt collectors often use aggressive tactics to recover money. Collection calls, wage garnishments, lawsuits, repossessions, and foreclosures are all designed to pressure you into paying debts, even when it feels impossible.

Ohio law and the federal Bankruptcy Code provide protections that prevent creditors from overstepping. With an attorney on your side, you can stop harassment and ensure creditors follow the law.

The Power of the Automatic Stay

One of the most powerful protections in bankruptcy is the automatic stay. The moment your bankruptcy case is filed, creditors must stop:

• Calling and sending collection letters
• Garnishing wages or levying bank accounts
• Filing or continuing lawsuits
• Foreclosing on homes or repossessing vehicles

This immediate relief allows you to focus on resolving debt without constant pressure. Our attorneys file your case quickly and efficiently so you get the full benefit of these protections.

Stopping Lawsuits and Garnishments

Many clients seek help when creditors escalate collection to lawsuits. If a creditor wins a judgment, they may begin garnishing wages or seizing funds from your bank account. We step in to stop these actions.

Through bankruptcy, judgments are halted, garnishments are lifted, and pending lawsuits are frozen. Our attorneys also advise on whether specific debts such as credit cards, medical bills, or deficiency balances can be discharged completely.

Protecting Your Property

Creditors may threaten to repossess cars, foreclose on homes, or seize personal property. Bankruptcy can often protect these assets, depending on the chapter filed and the exemptions available under Ohio law.

We work with you to determine the best way to safeguard your property, whether through Chapter 7 protections or a Chapter 13 repayment plan that allows you to catch up on missed payments over time.

Representing Individuals and Families

For many Ohio families, creditor harassment adds stress to already difficult circumstances. We provide compassionate guidance, ensuring that collection calls and lawsuits do not derail your life. Our attorneys make sure the law is applied fairly and that you are treated with dignity throughout the process.

Representing Small Businesses

Business owners face unique risks when creditors pursue unpaid debts. Vendors, lenders, and landlords may take legal action that threatens both business operations and personal assets. We provide tailored strategies to help small businesses stop collection efforts, restructure debts, or in some cases, wind down operations responsibly.

Handling Complex Creditor Disputes

Some creditor issues are straightforward; others involve contested claims, disputes over collateral, or aggressive litigation. We handle:

• Objections to exemptions and repayment plans
• Motions for relief from stay filed by creditors
• Negotiations with secured lenders to restructure payments
