You can put yourself under the protection of the federal government by filing for a chapter 13 bankruptcy. While you are under the federal government's protective umbrella creditors can not call or harass you about what you owe them. It must all stop! How soon? It happens immediately. In fact when they call, if tell them you just filed for bankruptcy, the only thing they can ask is for the name and phone number of your lawyer.

This is known as filing for chapter 13. Once you have filed the court gives you 30 days to come up with a plan to pay back your debtors including your mortgage company. If you don't file your plan in a timely manner, meaning 30 days, your filing is dismissed by the court and foreclosure, as well as, other debt collecting starts where it left off.
