The Automatic Stay
One of the most important creditor law concepts is the automatic stay. As soon as someone files for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the creditors are required by law to stop all collections activities against that person until the bankruptcy proceedings are completed. In short: If you file for bankruptcy, it is illegal for your creditors to keep bothering you.
