Protections Through an Automatic Stay

As discussed on our Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and foreclosure defense pages, bankruptcy filers are entitled to an “automatic stay” that legally protects them from collection activities. Creditors will be required to stop contacting the filer while the stay is in place and while the filer is working with an attorney. Note that the stay is temporary for Chapter 7 and lasts for the duration of the case for Chapter 13. Nonetheless, the stay will momentarily protect debtors from creditor harassment and grant them some much-needed time to work with their attorney on a solution to their debt through bankruptcy.
