How bankruptcy can help protect your home and give you the time you need to get back on track.
Understanding Foreclosure and Your Options
Facing foreclosure can be an overwhelming and stressful experience. The good news is that
bankruptcy may be able to stop foreclosure and help you protect your home while you work toward a long-term solution.
Whether you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, federal bankruptcy laws provide powerful protections that can give you the time and breathing room you need.
How Bankruptcy Can Stop Foreclosure
The automatic stay is one of the most important protections provided by bankruptcy. As soon as you file, this legal injunction goes into effect and prohibits creditors, including your mortgage lender, from taking any further action to foreclose on your home.
This means that:
Foreclosure proceedings are immediately halted.
Sheriff's sales are canceled.
Lenders must stop all collection calls and letters.
