Once your Chapter 7 Bankruptcy has been filed, creditors will not be allowed to contact you
until the Bankruptcy is complete. If the money owed to them is discharged in the Bankruptcy,
they will not contact you after the process either.

to keep when going through a bankruptcy:

 

Your home

 

Alimony or Child Support that you rely on

 

Pensions

Home Furnishings

 

Paintings

 

Burial Plot

 

Vehicle
