How to Use Bankruptcy to Save Your Home
Many people are confused about the types of bankruptcy available to them, and whether or not a bankruptcy can stop foreclosure. Here are some common questions and answers for those considering bankruptcy.
Q. Can I use bankruptcy to stop foreclosure on my home?
A. In many cases, yes. Bankruptcy under Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code can immediately stop foreclosure on your home, as well as collection of other debts.
Q. What if my mortgage company has already filed foreclosure and has already given me a date by which I have to leave my house?
A. Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates an automatic stay on foreclosure proceedings. As long as you use bankruptcy correctly, and a repayment plan is created and approved by a federal court, you will get to stay in your home.
Q. What if I don't have the money to pay my debtors back?
A. Unfortunately, if you are unable to make payments you might not be eligible for Chapter 13, which is a reorganization of financial obligations. If that is the case, Chapter 7 might be the only bankruptcy you can use. Chapter 7 is straight bankruptcy, and calls for total liquidation of all assets.
