Sacramento Bankruptcy: Being sued? Bankruptcy will stop that lawsuit

Bankruptcy prevents creditors from coming after you. That includes stopping lawsuits, letters, levies, liens, garnishments, phone calls, or anything creditors attempt to pursue a debt owed. As soon as a bankruptcy is filed, bankruptcy protection (also known as an automatic stay in legalese) applies. Often people file bankruptcy because a creditor has sued them which, then, can result in a lien, levy, garnishment or other collection option. Even the rapper 50 Cent filed for bankruptcy to stop his creditors in their tracks. Bankruptcy is a powerful tool and may assist you if you have debt and are facing collection force.
