Bankruptcy Law Firm Westgate Law Shows You How To Take Action Against Unwelcome Creditors

June 16, 2015 – – Los Angeles based law firm, Westgate Law, has posted the steps clients can take to defend themselves against creditors who are ignoring bankruptcy protection. These steps, and more information on bankruptcy and the security it should allow can be viewed on the company blog located at Westgatelaw.com. Here the firm provides a number of solutions that can make life easier throughout the bankruptcy process and afterwards.

Westgate Law is a recognized bankruptcy law firm in the state of California, and they have made it clear that they are very passionate about giving their clients the protection and support that they deserve while undergoing bankruptcy. One of the subjects that they have placed focus on recently is the inability of some creditors to grasp the meaning of bankruptcy and the protection that it should grant those who are applying or proceeding with this process. They have said the following regarding this type of situation:

“Sometimes creditors seem to completely ignore bankruptcy protection. For petitioners it can be extremely frustrating as one of the main benefits of filing for bankruptcy is to obtain relief from creditors seeking payment that isn’t available. When creditors ignore the protection provided by bankruptcy, there is action you can take.”

Two ways that the firm suggests their clients handle this situation is to contact the Credit Bureaus directly and give evidence that bankruptcy has been filed. If the case has been completed, they encourage those being harassed by creditors to send proof of completion or discharge. They have explained that in some cases the agency handling a client’s debt may not code the case properly in the file, and this can continue to reflect poorly through the Credit Bureau. By sending proof directly, individuals can bypass the agency that has neglected their duties and resolve the issue themselves. They say:

“Some bankruptcy filers have success with credit repair companies that work to correct inaccurate information, but the process can be completed without professional help. Simply review your credit report 6-12 months after the closing of your bankruptcy case. Proactively view the listed accounts and check to make sure that creditors are reporting the accounts as discharged.”

The firm has stated that they understand how difficult this process can be, especially when creditors are not playing fairly in terms of understanding a client’s rights to protection and privacy following the filing of bankruptcy. They give more tips for handling these situations at westgatelaw.com, and encourage those who have yet to file to contact them for more information on bankruptcy and how it can help in cases where debt has become unmanageable.

Westgate Law is led by Justin Harelik and Torin Dorros, both of whom have advanced knowledge and experience in the field of bankruptcy settlements and debt relief. They offer live chat through the firm website, and invite anybody with questions or concerns to contact them directly for a consultation. They have expressed that although individuals can protect themselves against creditors by using the above mentioned methods, they can also assist using legal methods if creditors persist to cause harassment.
