Can Bankruptcy Stop Foreclosure In Georgia?

Many people who are considering bankruptcy in 2023 fear that they will lose the things that they worked hard for when they file. We can help you can keep your home, especially if the home is in danger of foreclosure.

 

Bankruptcy can stop foreclosure, and give you time to put a plan together.

 



The Automatic Stay

One of the benefits of filing for bankruptcy is the automatic stay. In both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings, the automatic stay begins as soon as the bankruptcy case has been filed. The automatic stay stops all collections by creditors. Foreclosure proceedings are included in that group of actions that are stopped.

 

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings allow you to repay past-due mortgage payments a little bit at a time over several years rather than forcing you to pay all at once. If you can remain current on the monthly plan and mortgage payments, you should be able to keep your home.
