Can creditors contact you after your bankruptcy discharge is issued? Jay S. Fleischman of Bankruptcy Law Network gives an overview of your rights when a creditor violates the discharge in bankruptcy.
i know this is a year old but i am having current problems i lawyer refuse to act the my credtors is calling me and sending me letters all the time what do i do? who can i call .. ?
Right, but one of the purposes of bankruptcy is to discharge your debt, so if after a court with jurisdiction over this matter, signs an order forever discharging your debt, and a creditor whose debt has been discharged still contacts you, that particular creditor is in contempt of court irrespective of how many times he has contacted you. If a collection agent contacts you after your debt has been discharged, they are violating a federal court order, and the court should be informed.
I called the NC lawyer for the Bankruptcy Law Network. The information in this video is not altogether true. She told me if a creditor sends one letter, the only thing they will do is to ask them to stop. If they do send more letters or harrass you, then the lawyer will require about $2,500 downpayment or "where else am I going to get paid from?" Obviously, not us, we're broke. This is not a huge "network" of attorneys either, there is usually only one lawyer per state in it.
