Why quick action matters
In debt situations, timing is critical — a foreclosure sale date, a garnishment, or a lawsuit response deadline can move fast, and filing bankruptcy triggers an "automatic stay" that can pause many collection actions. The sooner a participating firm can review your situation, the more options may be available. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating firm can explain the deadlines and options that apply to you.
