I'm in the process of filing for Chapter 7 due to financial hardships and as well got careless with payday loan companies. For those of you that filed bankruptcy, how does the process work and once you file, what happens from here. What is an "Automatic Stay"?!? What happens once you pay your retainer fee to the lawyer's office, what happens from here?!? Will this stop my creditors and payday loan companies coming after you?!? Once they've been notified that you've filed for bankruptcy?!? I'm stressed out because I've got many payday loans that I can't keep up including bills that I can't pay due to the carelessness of my pdl's. Any advice is helpful and to put my mind at ease on how to proceed, much appreciated. Thanks.


Hi!
Welcome to the forums!
As soon as you file bankruptcy, creditors are forbidden from making collection calls to the bankruptcy petitioner without taking a prior permission from the court. This is called automatic stay.

Bankruptcy process -

Go through credit counseling and obtain a certificate
Go through finance management course
Go through the means test
File bankruptcy with the court clerk
Pay the fees, fill out and submit the required documents
Attend the creditors meeting
Non-exempt assets sold
The recovered money given to the creditors
Bankruptcy discharged
