Immediate Relief Through Automatic Stay
Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay — an immediate court order that stops foreclosure proceedings, giving you time to reorganize, negotiate, or explore alternatives.

Stop Foreclosure Immediately With Bankruptcy
The automatic stay is one of the most powerful tools in foreclosure defense. The moment a bankruptcy petition is filed with the court, an automatic injunction takes effect that immediately stops all creditor collection activity — including foreclosure proceedings, scheduled foreclosure sales, and evictions. No hearing is required. No judge's signature is needed. The stay is automatic and immediate.
For homeowners facing an imminent foreclosure sale, bankruptcy can stop the sale even if it's scheduled for the next day. While bankruptcy is a serious financial decision with long-term consequences, in many situations it provides the breathing room needed to negotiate a loan modification, sell the property on your terms, or catch up on mortgage arrears through a court-supervised repayment plan.
We provide complete bankruptcy document preparation services — preparing all required schedules, statements, and forms for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings, tailored to your specific district's requirements. While we do not provide legal advice on whether to file, we ensure your documents are accurate, complete, and ready for filing.
Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13
Understanding the two main bankruptcy chapters available to homeowners.
Chapter 7
Liquidation bankruptcy that eliminates most unsecured debts (credit cards, medical bills, personal loans) and provides the automatic stay to stop foreclosure. Best for homeowners who need debt relief and time to transition, but not necessarily to keep the home long-term unless it's fully exempt.
- Automatic stay stops foreclosure immediately
- Discharges most unsecured debts
- Takes approximately 3-6 months
- No repayment plan required
- Requires passing the means test
Chapter 13
Reorganization bankruptcy that creates a court-supervised repayment plan over 3-5 years. The primary tool for homeowners who want to keep their home — allows you to catch up on mortgage arrears through the plan while making current payments.
- Saves your home from foreclosure permanently
- Catch up mortgage arrears over 3-5 years
- Can strip wholly unsecured junior liens
- Protects co-signers on consumer debts
- Available even if means test is not met
