Being a Las Vegas Lawyer I am versed in working with both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 personal bankruptcies. Unfortunately, Vegas can be considered the Bankruptcy capital of the United states. So, before considering a a Las Vegas Bankruptcy you need to know what bankruptcy can do for you. This post is a brief essay on the automatic stay in Bankruptcy. When declaring bankruptcy, as a debtor, an automatic stay is introduced. What an automatic stay discourages lenders from doing certain measures. For instance, once bankruptcy is filed a creditor can not due the foregoing: Commence or continue a lawsuit against you in any effort to collect debts which you allegedly owe. Continue with any collection calls. Once bankruptcy is filed a collection agency must cease and desist all attempts to collect any supposed debts. All repossessions must stop. Please note that if you are behind on payments, filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can in the short term stop the repossession of your car. But, the stay is just non permanent. The creditor’s can be able to reposess your car if they decide to file a request to lift the automatic stay. Filing bankruptcy can stop the foreclosure sale of your property. Once again, with a chapter 7 bankruptcy, this is only temporary. A chapter 13 bankruptcy can afford you more protection if your goal would be to stop a foreclosure sale. Filing bankruptcy can stop the garnishment of your wages. This automatic stay will last until the following: 1. At the request of the creditor, the judge may lift the automatic stay. 2. The item of property no longer is associated with the person declaring bankruptcy. 3. The debtor gets the discharge. This occurs during when a chapter 7 bankruptcy is filed and a foreclosure and /or repossession is temporarily stopped. After the debtor gets a discharge a creditor is then free to purse repossession and foreclosure on the debtor’s property. So, with an automatic stay, a bankruptcy can allow you to get your financial affairs together, provide you relief from bothering calls from creditors, and cease the garnishing of your wages. However, remember in the case of a chapter 7 bankruptcy these outcomes are only temporary.
