If you
are facing foreclosure in Georgia, Bankruptcy is an option to prevent your home
from being foreclosed upon. Filing for bankruptcy stops the foreclosure on your
home by an “automatic stay” which will also stop most collection efforts
against you. The taxing authority, a homeowners association, or your mortgage
lender must cease their foreclosure actions immediately. Then you will have
some time to decide what to do.
Filing a
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy will stop foreclosure and can allow you to repay your
past due payments over 3 to 5 years. Chapter 13 is a debt relief option that
can not only stop foreclosure and allow you to save your home, but can also
allow you to keep your other property while repaying your debts or in many
cases reducing them drastically. Stopping foreclosure is a main reason people
file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. So, if you are eligible, Chapter 13 can stop
foreclosure on your home.
If your
lender is threatening foreclosure or has initiated foreclosure proceedings,
contact King and King right away. You cannot save your home once the
foreclosure sale is complete. Unless you've recently filed a previous bankruptcy case, Chapter 13 will most always
stop the foreclosure. If you’re like most people in Georgia, your home is your
biggest investment. So when you are facing a foreclosure and the prospect of
losing your home, you risk losing your biggest investment. Don’t wait until the
day before the foreclosure sale to do something or it may be too late.
