Automatic Stay Offered Through Bankruptcy
An automatic stay is an order from the court to stop collecting money from that particular person. Whatever they do now will have to go through the court.
Are you thinking about filing for bankruptcy? It depends on your income, expenses, and total debt.
For most people, there are two (2) types of bankruptcy: Chapter 13 liquidation or Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The distinction between chapter 7 and chapter 13 liquidation –
Chapter 13 is a reorganization debt, here you will have to pay all your debts in the way the court plans a repayment. It goes on for 3 – 5 years and helps you keep all your assets.
Chapter 7 is also known as “A FRESH START”. Here the case will be closed within 6 months and you won’t in most cases pay anything just some assets are given to the court as compensation.
Very few creditors violate automatic stay and if someone does contact your legal counsel right away and the court will deal with it.
