Your Creditors Need Legal Proof to Proceed

Indiana law puts the burden of proof on the debt collectors. They are required to produce proper documentation — such as a signed contract — in order to collect the debt from you. If they cannot provide the necessary documents, you may even be able to get the debt dismissed.

The Power of the Automatic Stay

Even if your creditors can produce valid documentation in court, you still have options. One is to file bankruptcy. The moment you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, an "automatic stay" goes into effect. The automatic stay puts an immediate halt to creditor harassment, wage garnishments, home foreclosures, repossessions and debt-related lawsuits.
