If you have been struggling to make your debt payments for several months, filing for bankruptcy might be the best option to end creditor harassment and get a fresh financial start. Behm Law Group, Ltd. provides the legal support you need when filing for bankruptcy in Worthington, MN and get optimal results in your case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, when\u00a0 filing for bankruptcy you\u2019re immediately protected by the automatic stay for the period of time it takes to resolve your case. This means the creditors of the debts that will be handled in your case can\u2019t perform any collection actions. However, things can get complicated when one of your creditors sells one of your debts while you\u2019re filing for bankruptcy or in bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A creditor may choose to sell a debt to another creditor at any time, even while you\u2019re in the middle of a bankruptcy case. A creditor might choose to sell the debt if they don\u2019t want to wait for your bankruptcy case to be completed to see if it will get paid anything by the trustee administering your case. By selling your debt, they will receive a small immediate sum, and the buyer of the debt will stand in the place of the original creditor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How does this affect filing for bankruptcy? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, the sale of a debt doesn\u2019t affect your bankruptcy case. Whether you owe a debt to the original creditor or to a debt buyer, you still owe the same amount for that debt. From your perspective, it will be handled in bankruptcy as if there was never a sale. However, the original creditor or the debt buyer must notify the bankruptcy court of the sale so that the party in charge of the debt can receive payments in the event that you file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and are scheduled for a three to five-year repayment plan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A debt sale may affect you if the debt in question is discharged or scheduled to be discharged. Because the selling of a debt included in a bankruptcy is an act that is in violation of either the automatic stay injunctive provisions of 11 U.S.C. \u00a7362 or the discharge injunctive provisions of 11 U.S.C. \u00a7524, you may need to take action if this occurs. For example, presume you have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and your credit card debt was discharged in the process. Presume further that, soon after, you\u2019re contacted by a creditor who claims they bought one of your debts and is attempting to collect payments. In this case, you should provide the creditor with a copy of the Notice of Bankruptcy Filing that was issued by the bankruptcy court when your case was commenced.\u00a0 If your bankruptcy case has been concluded, you should provide the creditor with a copy of the Discharge Order that the court issued. \u00a0If the creditor continues to harass you and continues collection activities, you may be forced to contact your bankruptcy lawyer and sue the creditor in bankruptcy court.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The sale of a debt will often not concern you as a filer and is simply business between creditors.
