The Automatic Stay
The automatic stay in bankruptcy, is one of the most powerful tools used to help clients find debt relief and achieve a fresh start.
How The Automatic Stay Can Help You
- Begins Immediately: As soon as you file for a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, the automatic stay starts.
- Protects you from collectors: The automatic stay is part of bankruptcy law that prohibits lenders and collections agencies from engaging in any type of collections activities.
- Includes all forms of collections activities: The automatic stay is not limited to creditor harassment or other illegal activities. It includes phone calls, foreclosure actions, repossessions, and any other type of effort to collect on a debt.
- Gives you some breathing room: The automatic stay remains in effect throughout the duration of the bankruptcy proceedings. While this is not an unlimited amount of time it generally last for the duration of your bankruptcy and is often enough time for someone to regroup and create a strategy for building a strong and secure financial future.
