In many cases, a bankruptcy discharge can eliminate your personal responsibility for secured debt, so the lender can't sue you for unpaid amounts. However, the lien on the property doesn't automatically go away. The lender can still take back the collateral if you stop making payments.
If you file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your secured debt may be discharged, but the lender is also able to repossess the property that secured the debt. In other words, if you have a mortgage on your home and file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the mortgage debt may be discharged but the lender can take back your home.
Lenders apply debt forgiveness in several ways, including through directly negotiated settlements or government programs. You can also approach industry professionals such as debt counselors to assist with repayment plans. However, it's important to keep in mind that debt forgiveness is relatively rare.
The short answer is yes. If a creditor obtains a judgment against you, it can obtain a writ of execution to levy your bank account without prior notice to you.
Not without a court order: Debt collectors cannot directly freeze your bank account without first obtaining a judgment against you in court. It's a multi-step process: Freezing an account (also known as “garnishment”) is typically a last resort after other collection attempts have failed.
Specifically, the rule states that a debt collector cannot: Make more than seven calls within a seven-day period to a consumer regarding a specific debt. Call a consumer within seven days after having a telephone conversation about that debt.
The phrase in question is: “Please cease and desist all calls and contact with me, immediately.” These 11 words, when used correctly, can provide significant protection against aggressive debt collection practices.
What happens if a law suit is filed against you? A creditor can sue you if you get behind in your payments.
Under the Statute, the creditor has four years to file suit from the date the debtor defaulted on or breached the contract. If the creditor fails to file suit within four years, the creditor is barred from collecting the debt in court.
