When you are struggling with debt, the last thing you want is for your creditors to come after you. Fortunately, there's bankruptcy law can help protect you from creditor harassment. Our Colorado bankruptcy team answers common questions and provides information on how automatic stay can help you out of difficult financial situations.
What is Automatic Stay?
An automatic stay is a legal order that stops creditors from taking further action against you. This includes collection attempts, foreclosures, and repossessions. Once you file for bankruptcy, the automatic stay goes into effect immediately. The automatic stay will remain in effect until your bankruptcy case is over or unless the court lifts the stay. Needless to say, automatic stay can be a powerful tool to help you get your finances back on track.
What Are the Benefits of Automatic Stay?
The main benefit of the automatic stay is that it gives you time to catch up on missed payments without worrying about creditors coming after you. This can provide much-needed relief and allow you to focus on getting your finances in order. In addition, the automatic stay can:
- Stop wage garnishment
- Stop foreclosure proceedings
- Stop collection attempts
- Stop utility shutoffs
- Stop most civil lawsuits
- Give you time to negotiate with creditors
