FAQs about Debt & COVID 19

Geraci Law answers questions about debt during COVID 19.

FAQs about Debt & COVID 19

Geraci Law wants to help you answer questions about debt and collections because of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19.  Reviewing your financial situation with an experienced bankruptcy firm (like Geraci Law) is almost a GREAT idea if you are struggling financially.

Are the bankruptcy courts open?

Yes but there are are no in-person meetings. BUT, we are able to file Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions to get the automatic stay protection. The courts are still processing filed petitions. There is no delay in case filing. Oftentimes Geraci Law can file a case the same or next day.

Can bill collectors sue me when courts reopen?

ABSOLUTELY. Governor J.B. Pritzer suspended summons service so creditors cannot serve a garnishment or citation to discover assets. Most collection agencies and finance companies are put on hold during COVID-19. Once the order ends – collectors can start to sue, garnish, and collect. Filing a bankruptcy NOW stops the future collection.

Are Geraci Law offices open?

Yes and no. Yes Geraci Law is open and ready to help. No, the physical locations are not open to protect our staff and clients. We can meet with you via phone or video. It’s the same great service – just virtually. You can schedule online at https://www.infotapes.com/Bankruptcy/OfficeLocator. All you need is a smart phone!

Where can I find more information about finances during COVID-19?

Geraci Law wants to be a resource to everyone. A great place to look is at https://www.infotapes.com/Links this includes information about debt, education, job fairs and other important resources.

IL Governor Suspends Service of Garnishment Summonses

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker suspends the service of wage deduction and garnishment summonses. What this means for you and why bankruptcy with Geraci Law might be a great option.

IL Governor Suspends Service of Garnishment Summonses

Governor J.B. Pritzker issued an executive order suspending the service of garnishment summonses, wage deduction summonses and citations to discover assets for consumers. This suspension is for the duration of the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation.

This means creditors in ILLINOIS cannot serve wage garnishment summons. It’s important to understand this is TEMPORARY. During COVID-19, the creditors are kept at bay. But creditors will be able to collect in the future. Plan for YOUR future. Consider your bankruptcy options now. Stop the creditor action before it even starts (or resumes).

Governor Pritzker has your back for now but when the suspension is lifted, these creditors WILL be back. Filing a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 will STOP the collections. Want to know your options? Geraci Law is open and filing bankruptcy cases. Give us a call to figure out a plan for your financial future.
