What You Need to Know About Automatic Stays in Bankruptcy

When you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay is immediately issued by the court. This order temporarily halts any collection actions against you. It also prevents foreclosure, repossession, and eviction.

The automatic stay will last until your bankruptcy case is over. It may be lifted if the creditor gets a court order, but it is rare for this to happen.

    “We went to DRLC and from start to finish they were our rock. They made everything seem so easy and go so smoothly.”
    Last year after my husband lost his job and we found ourselves in a bit of a financial mess. We went to DRLC and from start to finish they were our rock. They made everything seem so easy and go so smoothly. From the ladies in the office to the lawyers in the back, a special shout out to Daniel Weidecker. He was there for us, went to bat for us when there was a complication and the end result was handled exactly as they said. So if you find yourself needing to get out of debt don't hesitate and call DRLC, they are amazing.
