What is a Trustee in Bankruptcy.
Why do you need one?
Bankruptcy law says you are required to retain a bankruptcy trustee to handle all consumer bankruptcies including your financial affairs.
Once you declare bankruptcy all debt is frozen, creditors must stop harassing you instantly. All collection calls and notices must end.
Your creditors must deal with your trustee, not you. Your financial problems and money problems are solved. The trustee will stop garnishees.
If you have bad credit, missed payments, no savings, no money to speak of, or are over your credit limits and living on overdrafts, you need to consider bankruptcy. Talk to a bankruptcy trustee. You will be glad you did.
