What effect does filing under Chapter 13 have on lawsuits and attachments previously filed against me?
Under federal law, the filing of a Chapter 13 case automatically stops or stays all lawsuits, attachments, foreclosures, garnishments, repossessions, and other actions by creditors against either you or your property. A few days after your case is filed, a notice is mailed by your attorney and by the Trustee to all of your creditors advising them of this automatic stay. The creditors may be notified sooner by either you or your attorney if necessary. Because you are now protected from your creditors under the Federal Bankruptcy Laws of the United States of America, please tell any of your creditors that contact you that you have filed for Chapter 13 relief and that your attorney is Jonathan Stone. You should also advise them to contact the office at 908-979-9919. This is all you need to say to any creditor. You may also contact the office after obtaining the full name, number and extension of the creditor calling. We will then send the creditor a no action letter informing the creditor
