Will bankruptcy stop collection calls and garnishment?

Filing triggers the automatic stay, which generally stops most collection actions, lawsuits, garnishments and foreclosures right away.

Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?

How much does a bankruptcy lawyer in Erwin cost?

Chapter 7 is usually a flat fee; Chapter 13 fees are often partly paid through the plan. Ask for the total, including court filing costs.
