Automatic Stays - Las Vegas

Our Nevada Bankruptcy Lawyers Can Help You Get an Automatic Stay

When you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect immediately. This stay is a court order that prohibits creditors from taking any collection actions against you, including phone calls, letters, lawsuits, foreclosures, wage garnishments, and bank levies. The purpose of the automatic stay is to give you a breathing spell and a fresh start by stopping the chaos and harassment of debt collectors.

At Fox, Imes & Crosby, LLC, we understand the importance of the automatic stay in the bankruptcy process. We are dedicated to helping our clients get the full benefit of the automatic stay and protect their assets from creditors. Whether you are filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, we can guide you through the process and ensure that your rights are protected.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Automatic Stay

In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the automatic stay usually lasts for the duration of the case, which is typically three to four months. During this time, creditors cannot continue their collection efforts or try to collect any debts that were discharged in the bankruptcy. However, there are some exceptions to the automatic stay, such as criminal proceedings, tax audits, and certain actions by the trustee.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Automatic Stay

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the automatic stay lasts for the duration of the repayment plan, which is usually three to five years. During this time, creditors cannot continue their collection efforts or try to collect any debts that are included in the plan. However, there are some exceptions to the automatic stay, such as criminal proceedings, tax audits, and certain actions by the trustee.
