Bankruptcy laws work for you. The United States government has created specific bankruptcy laws that protect you, the consumer. Some of these protections include the stopping of harassing phone calls and the stopping of legal proceedings against you as a debtor, including foreclosure proceedings. These laws exist to protect the consumer who has found themselves overwhelmed by debt.
