Brooklyn New York Bankruptcy Attorney

After we file your bankruptcy petition, an automatic stay will prevent any repossession, collection, or foreclosure of property. This means your property is safe from being seized and that creditors must cease all collection efforts. After filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the automatic stay both stops wage garnishments and requires creditors to unfreeze a debtor's bank accounts.

Trying to catch up on a mortgage without filing for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be nearly impossible and lead to a bank foreclosing on your home. Banks will only stop foreclosure if mortgage payments are up to date and current. Saving their home is one of the main reasons people file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If you are behind on your mortgage, filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy will reorganize your mortgage and prevent your home from being foreclosed on by giving you an opportunity to catch up over a three-to-five-year period rather then having to pay it all right now.
