How Bankruptcy Can Fight Foreclosure
When a debtor files for bankruptcy, they may be able to immediately pause foreclosure proceedings from continuing through what is known as an automatic stay. This stay stops creditors of any kind from continuing to collect or take action to begin collection during the legal proceedings associated with bankruptcy. Bankruptcy may also help stop or pause foreclosure in the following ways:
- During an automatic stay, a debtor may work with the bank to keep their house
- Bankruptcy may make it possible to begin repaying mortgage payments
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy can reorganize payments to altogether prevent foreclosure for some people
These methods provide for a way for debtors to prevent the loss of their home – something that is vitally important to most, if not all, people.
