The \u201cautomatic stay\u201d is an injunction triggered by filing one of the following types of bankruptcy: Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13. With it in place, debtors are protected from further debt collection activities from creditors and collection agencies. With an automatic stay, these entities must stop all collection efforts right away. Those who filed for bankruptcy should no longer face persistent phone calls and correspondence from debt collectors, lawsuits that aim to collect debt payment, and the threat of wage garnishment or lien.<\/p>\n
