Problems with the Automatic Stay

June 24th, 2008 by debt-advisor


Most bankruptcies proceed without a hitch. If you are honest in your petition and schedules, your discharge will be granted. For most debtors, the process from filing to hearing to discharge is seamless and surprisingly simple. However, sometimes problems do arise, either during the case or soon after the discharge is granted. Most are fairly easy to deal with if you understand your rights. The automatic stay remains in effect for the duration of your case. Yet sometimes creditors want to continue collection activities despite the stay. Usually, they will request permission from the court to do so. That is legal. Sometimes, however, a creditor continues to proceed against a debtor, but it does so without court permission. Doing so is illegal. While this does happen, luckily it is a fairly rare occurrence.
