    You were very open and answered all of my questions. You never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question. I was comfortable with your knowledge of the law. It was hard for me to make this decision to move forward in my life. Everyone was friendly to me and respectful. Non-judgmental. Every question I asked was answered promptly and appropriately. I would recommend you.

  • More Than Expected!

    I found the firm's representation to be more than what I expected. I was always kept in the loop, all my questions were answered (whether or not I asked more than once the same question), and I felt completely supported by the firm staff when going through this (at times) scary ordeal. Thank you again.

Should I Tell My Creditors I’m Filing Bankruptcy?

Many prospective clients ask us if they should notify their creditors that they are intending to filing bankruptcy. Additionally, at what point in the process should they notify their creditors that they are intending to file bankruptcy.

The best time to notify your creditors that you are intending to file bankruptcy is after officially retaining a bankruptcy attorney. When creditors begin to make collection calls, feel free to answer the phone and inform them that you are intending to file and that you would like all collection calls to be directed to your attorney throughout the case preparation process. At that time, you can provide your attorney’s name and phone number.

Usually, creditors will then reach out to your attorney and confirm that you are in fact retained for the purposes of filing bankruptcy and they will confirm a prospective timeline for your anticipated filing date. Most often, this can help alleviate quite a bit of the collection calls you may be receiving from your creditors while you are preparing to file.

Creditors will ask if there is a case number associated with your bankruptcy. However, you will not be given a case number until your case is officially filed with the court.

For more questions about the bankruptcy process contact your Stockton bankruptcy attorney at 209-952-0355.
