Creditor Harassment Lawyers in Warren, MI

Stop Creditor Harassment and Take Back Control of Your Life

Harassing calls, threatening letters, and intimidation from creditors can disrupt your life and drain your peace of mind. You do not have to tolerate creditor harassment. You have rights under federal and Michigan law, and taking action now can stop harassment immediately.

At Kostopoulos Bankruptcy Law, our board-certified creditor harassment attorneys in Warren have decades of experience stopping illegal collection actions while protecting your wages, bank accounts, and property. We enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Michigan law, ensuring that collectors follow the law or face legal consequences.

 

 

What Constitutes Creditor Harassment?

Creditor harassment includes any collection activity that violates your rights under federal or state law, such as:

• Using threats, profanity, or abusive language
• Calling repeatedly to annoy, harass, or intimidate
• Threatening arrest or jail over unpaid debts
• Misrepresenting the amount owed or your legal rights
• Contacting your workplace after you have told them to stop
• Discussing your debts with unauthorized third parties
• Calling before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.

If you experience these tactics, you have the legal right to make them stop and hold debt collectors accountable for damages.

 

Why Creditor Harassment is Dangerous

Creditor harassment can escalate if ignored, leading to:

• Wage garnishments and bank levies
• Lawsuits and judgments
• Damage to your credit
• Stress and anxiety that impact your family and work
• Difficulty paying essential expenses

Harassment is not only illegal, but it can push you deeper into financial crisis unless you take decisive action.

 

How Bankruptcy Stops Creditor Harassment Immediately

Filing for bankruptcy triggers the automatic stay, a court order that:

• Stops all collection calls and letters
• Halts wage garnishments and lawsuits
• Stops foreclosure and vehicle repossession
• Protects your property and income during your case

Once your bankruptcy is filed, creditors can no longer contact you directly. They are legally required to cease all collection activity immediately.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy eliminates unsecured debts, including credit cards and medical bills, within a few months, permanently stopping the harassment tied to these debts.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy consolidates your debts into a manageable payment plan while stopping creditor harassment and protecting your wages and assets.

At Kostopoulos Bankruptcy Law, we file cases strategically to stop creditor harassment fast and eliminate the debts causing it.

 

Using FDCPA Violations to Your Advantage

If debt collectors violate the FDCPA, you may be entitled to:

• Up to $1,000 in statutory damages, plus additional actual damages
• Attorney’s fees and court costs covered by the violator
• A court order stopping further collection violations

Our attorneys will evaluate your case for potential violations and pursue claims aggressively when appropriate.

 

 

Additional Strategies to Stop Creditor Harassment

Bankruptcy is often the fastest and most comprehensive option, but other legal strategies include:

• Sending cease-and-desist letters to debt collectors
• Requesting written debt verification to challenge collection efforts
• Filing lawsuits for FDCPA violations
• Negotiating settlements or structured payment plans to resolve debts

We assess your situation to determine the best course of action to protect you while resolving your debts.

 

Why Acting Now is Critical

Ignoring creditor harassment will not make it stop and can lead to:

• Court judgments and wage garnishments
• Seizure of bank account funds
• Escalating fees, penalties, and interest
• Further damage to your credit
• Ongoing stress that impacts your daily life

Taking prompt legal action protects your income, assets, and peace of mind.
