With a voluntary chapter 13 dismissal how long do you have before the creditors attempt to collect debt?
In a voluntary Chapter 13 dismissal, creditors can typically resume collection efforts immediately after the case is dismissed. There is no waiting period; the automatic stay that protected you from creditor actions during the bankruptcy proceeding is lifted upon dismissal. Consequently, creditors can initiate lawsuits, wage garnishments, or other collection activities without delay. It’s advisable to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand your options and plan your next steps.
