Bankruptcy as a Solution for Creditor Harassment
Bankruptcy is a powerful tool that can help you get a fresh financial start. For some people, filing for bankruptcy is the only way to get out from under overwhelming debt.
When you file for bankruptcy, your assets will be protected from creditors. You can also get a stay that prevents creditors from taking action against you while your bankruptcy is pending.
When creditors are harassing you, it can feel like your world is falling apart. You may be afraid that your life is about to become a nightmare. However, filing for bankruptcy can put you on the road to financial freedom. At Sisk Law Firm, we can help you get the relief you deserve.

Is Creditor Harassment Illegal?
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), creditors are prohibited from engaging in certain activities when trying to collect debt.
These activities include:
- Calling you multiple times a day.
- Using threats of violence or harm.
- Falsely claiming to be an attorney.
- Falsely claiming that you will be arrested.
- Falsely claiming that you have committed a crime.
- Falsely representing themselves as a government representative.
- Telling others that you owe a debt.
- Contacting you at your workplace.
- Contacting your family members.
- Contacting you after being told to stop.
If you believe that a creditor has violated the FDCPA, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB will investigate your complaint and may even award you compensation for the harm you have suffered.
