The automatic stay remains in effect until the bankruptcy is discharged on behalf of the Debtor.<br \/>\n[\/av_textblock]<\/p>\n<p>[av_heading tag=&#8217;h2&#8242; padding=&#8217;10&#8217; heading=&#8217;Relief From An Automatic Stay&#8217; color=&#8221; style=&#8221; custom_font=&#8221; size=&#8221; subheading_active=&#8221; subheading_size=&#8217;15&#8217; custom_class=&#8221;][\/av_heading]<\/p>\n<p>[av_textblock size=&#8221; font_color=&#8221; color=&#8221;]<br \/>\nA creditor, depending on the complexity of the case, may try to have the stay lifted, but this is at the discretion of the bankruptcy court.\u00a0 After a Debtor receives their discharge notification, the automatic stay is then replaced by a permanent injunction.\u00a0 In other words, creditors are permanently prohibited from trying to collect on any of the debts listed in the client\u2019s bankruptcy.\u00a0\u00a0 It is important to keep in mind that domestic obligations such as alimony or child support typically do not fall under the protection of the automatic stay.\u00a0 Criminal proceedings against the Debtor are also not \u201cstopped\u201d when an automatic stay is enacted for bankruptcy.<br \/>\n[\/av_textblock]<\/p>\n<p>[av_heading tag=&#8217;h2&#8242; padding=&#8217;10&#8217; heading=&#8217;Automatic Stay: Protection From Creditors&#8217; color=&#8221; style=&#8221; custom_font=&#8221; size=&#8221; subheading_active=&#8221; subheading_size=&#8217;15&#8217; custom_class=&#8221;][\/av_heading]<\/p>\n<p>[av_textblock size=&#8221; font_color=&#8221; color=&#8221;]<br \/>\nFrom a client\u2019s perspective, the automatic stay is also viewed as a form of protection from creditors.\u00a0 If for any reason you were to be contacted by a creditor after the bankruptcy has been filed, then you would need to simply provide him or her with your case number.\u00a0 Your bankruptcy attorney does this automatically after your case is filed but some creditors may, unknowingly, call if they have not yet received the official notice. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable having to talk to the creditor, then simply let them know to contact your bankruptcy attorney\u2019s office.\u00a0 The attorney or one of their staff members can also provide the creditor with the information needed.\u00a0 Generally speaking, it\u2019s as simple as giving the creditor your case number over the phone if they were to contact you, but if they continued to ask questions for any reason, let them know all further communication should be directed towards your attorney\u2019s office.\u00a0 There are penalties for creditors who violate the automatic stay and since they receive notice of the bankruptcy filing shortly after it\u2019s filed, most will stop contacting the Debtor.<\/p>\n<p>Threatening phone calls and letters from creditors are what cause most clients to be stressed and overwhelmed with emotion.\u00a0 When these stop, it offers a brighter day and newer perspective for the Debtor.\u00a0 We often hear clients say \u201cthis is when my new start actually began, when the phone calls stopped.\u201d\u00a0 We work hard to get your case turned around as quickly as possible for you and on your way to what many clients consider their new financial start.<br \/>\n[\/av_textblock]<\/p>\n<p>[av_hr class=&#8217;default&#8217; height=&#8217;50&#8217; shadow=&#8217;no-shadow&#8217; position=&#8217;center&#8217;
