Your personal information includes: your name, address, social security number, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, mother’s maiden name, or other identifying information.

The instant a bankruptcy case is filed, your creditors are prohibited by law from contacting you, attempting to collect a debt and yes, they are also prohibited from foreclosing on your home. Even if your home is scheduled to be sold at foreclosure tomorrow and you file bankruptcy today, an injunction called the automatic stay will temporarily sheild you from creditors, forcing your lender to immediately cease and desist with foreclosing.

Chances are you don’t give these everyday transactions a second thought. But an identity thief does.
