What is an Automatic Stay?
An automatic stay is considered a powerful legal tool designed to provide immediate relief to individuals or businesses facing financial difficulties. Put simply, it is a legal injunction that halts creditors and collection agencies from pursuing debts or taking legal action against you. This essential protection is initiated the moment you file for bankruptcy, whether it's under Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or Chapter 13.
However, it does not protect you from all collection actions. Some collection actions that can occur after you file for bankruptcy include:
- Creditors or lenders can still contact you to discuss the debt
- Creditors can still sell assets that are not protected by the bankruptcy
- Creditors can still sue you and take your non-exempt assets
- You may still be liable for post-petition debts
- You may still be liable for taxes, fees, and penalties
How to Qualify for Automatic Stay Protection
In order to qualify for the automatic stay, you must file a petition for bankruptcy. There are two types of bankruptcy that you can file for:
- A consumer bankruptcy, which is used by individuals
- A business bankruptcy, which is used by businesses
Once you file, the court will assign you a bankruptcy trustee. The trustee will investigate your finances and advise the court on what type of bankruptcy is best for you.
Once the court issues the automatic stay, you will be protected from most collection actions. The automatic stay will last until your case is closed. Once your case is closed, the automatic stay will become a discharge order, which will eliminate your debts and prevent further collection action.
