That is a fancy way of saying that the filing of a bankruptcy puts a freeze on all collection efforts, including foreclosures. If a creditor tries to collect debts, foreclose on a property, try to repossess a vehicle, etc. then they are violating federal laws and could face sanctions. So no matter which type of bankruptcy you file there will be an automatic stay that goes into place, which will stop a foreclosure. However, that automatic stay only lasts for different periods of time depending on which type of bankruptcy you file. So lets talk about each of those different types of bankruptcies.<br \/>\n[\/av_textblock]<\/p>\n<p>[av_heading tag=&#8217;h3&#8242; padding=&#8217;10&#8217; heading=&#8217;Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and the Foreclosure of a Home&#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 \/>\nThe bad news first, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically means you will ultimately end up losing your house. Someone who is facing a foreclosure may choose to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if they believe the house isn\u2019t worth keeping in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Foreclosure-Sign-in-Front-of-House-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Foreclosure Sign in Front of House\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/staging\/8350\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Foreclosure-Sign-in-Front-of-House-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/staging\/8350\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Foreclosure-Sign-in-Front-of-House.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>There is some good news. Filing a <a title=\"Chapter 7 Bankruptcy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/bankruptcy\/bankruptcy-types\/chapter-7-bankruptcy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chapter 7 bankruptcy<\/a> before the foreclosure will allow them to keep the foreclosure off of their credit and will wipe out any potential deficiency balances from the foreclosure\u2026that\u2019s really important! Also, although filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy will not protect your house long term if you are behind on the house payments it will make the foreclosure process start back over. This will typically buy you another three months or longer in the house. (We\u2019ve had people in their property for two years after surrendering it in a bankruptcy.) Live there rent and mortgage free and save your money up for the next place you move to. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will also wipe out most of your unsecured debts like credit cards, medical bills and unsecured personal loans. There have also been rare circumstances where someone has surrendered their house within a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and then the bank is willing to try to work something out and modify or refinance the house after the bankruptcy. Like we said, this doesn\u2019t happen often but it is another possibility.<br \/>\n[\/av_textblock]<\/p>\n<p>[av_heading tag=&#8217;h3&#8242; padding=&#8217;10&#8217; heading=&#8217;Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and the Foreclosure of a Home&#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 \/>\nHas your mortgage company been dragging you along for months now?\u00a0 They keep telling you they are working on a loan modification but haven\u2019t actually delivered on their promise?\u00a0 Don\u2019t let your sale date come and go before finding out what your options are for filing bankruptcy.\u00a0 The mortgage company is not keeping your sale date in mind and could very well lead you right in to losing your home through foreclosure.\u00a0 If you want to keep the house and get on a repayment plan, you need to look into filing <a title=\"Chapter 13 Bankruptcy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/bankruptcy\/bankruptcy-types\/chapter-13-bankruptcy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chapter 13 bankruptcy<\/a> before it\u2019s too late.\u00a0 This type of bankruptcy will reorganize your debts and allow you to get assistance on paying back what\u2019s behind on the house over 3-5 years.\u00a0 Depending on what you are behind on the house and how much other debt you have, you will probably be on a repayment plan for 5 years which will allow you to keep a low monthly payment to pay back the arrearage amount on your house.\u00a0 A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will also allow you to usually only pay back a portion of your unsecured debts like credit cards, medical bills and unsecured personal loans. At the end of your Chapter 13 bankruptcy you could potentially save your home and have no more unsecured debts.<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; custom_border=&#8217;av-border-thin&#8217; custom_width=&#8217;50px&#8217; custom_border_color=&#8221; custom_margin_top=&#8217;30px&#8217; custom_margin_bottom=&#8217;30px&#8217; icon_select=&#8217;yes&#8217; custom_icon_color=&#8221; icon=&#8217;ue808&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>[av_social_share title=&#8217;Share this entry&#8217; style=&#8221; buttons=&#8221; share_facebook=&#8221; share_twitter=&#8221; share_pinterest=&#8221; share_gplus=&#8221; share_reddit=&#8221; share_linkedin=&#8221; share_tumblr=&#8221; share_vk=&#8221; share_mail=&#8221;][\/av_social_share]<\/p>\n<p>[av_comments_list]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[av_section min_height=&#8221; min_height_px=&#8217;500px&#8217; padding=&#8217;default&#8217; shadow=&#8217;no-shadow&#8217; bottom_border=&#8217;no-border-styling&#8217; id=&#8221; color=&#8217;main_color&#8217; custom_bg=&#8217;#d7d8ca&#8217; src=&#8221; attachment=&#8221; attachment_size=&#8221; attach=&#8217;scroll&#8217; position=&#8217;top left&#8217; repeat=&#8217;no-repeat&#8217; video=&#8221; video_ratio=&#8217;16:9&#8242; overlay_opacity=&#8217;0.5&#8242; overlay_color=&#8221; overlay_pattern=&#8221; overlay_custom_pattern=&#8221;] [av_heading heading=&#8217;Can Bankruptcy Stop A Foreclosure?&#8217; tag=&#8217;h1&#8242; style=&#8221; size=&#8221; subheading_active=&#8221; subheading_size=&#8217;15&#8217; padding=&#8217;10&#8217; color=&#8221; custom_font=&#8221;][\/av_heading] [\/av_section] [av_video src=&#8217;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UUFqInYT2eM&#8217; format=&#8217;16-9&#8242; width=&#8217;16&#8217; height=&#8217;9&#8242;] [av_textblock size=&#8221; font_color=&#8221; color=&#8221;] The short answer to the question is yes.\u00a0 When &#8230; <a title=\"Can Bankruptcy Stop A Foreclosure?\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/staging\/8350\/can-bankruptcy-stop-a-foreclosure\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Can Bankruptcy Stop A Foreclosure?\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,28,7,8,16,10,40,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","hentry","category-bankruptcy","category-bankruptcy-video","category-chapter-13","category-chapter-7-2","category-creditors","category-duncan-law-blog","category-foreclosure","category-video","post_format-post-format-video"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Can Bankruptcy Stop A Foreclosure?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/staging\/8350\/can-bankruptcy-stop-a-foreclosure\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Can Bankruptcy Stop A Foreclosure?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[av_section min_height=&#8221; min_height_px=&#8217;500px&#8217; padding=&#8217;default&#8217; shadow=&#8217;no-shadow&#8217; bottom_border=&#8217;no-border-styling&#8217; id=&#8221; color=&#8217;main_color&#8217; custom_bg=&#8217;#d7d8ca&#8217; src=&#8221; attachment=&#8221; attachment_size=&#8221; attach=&#8217;scroll&#8217; position=&#8217;top left&#8217; repeat=&#8217;no-repeat&#8217; video=&#8221; video_ratio=&#8217;16:9&#8242; overlay_opacity=&#8217;0.5&#8242; overlay_color=&#8221; overlay_pattern=&#8221; overlay_custom_pattern=&#8221;] [av_heading heading=&#8217;Can Bankruptcy Stop A Foreclosure?&#8217; tag=&#8217;h1&#8242; style=&#8221; size=&#8221; subheading_active=&#8221; subheading_size=&#8217;15&#8217; padding=&#8217;10&#8217; color=&#8221; custom_font=&#8221;][\/av_heading] [\/av_section] [av_video src=&#8217;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UUFqInYT2eM&#8217; format=&#8217;16-9&#8242; width=&#8217;16&#8217; height=&#8217;9&#8242;] [av_textblock size=&#8221; font_color=&#8221; color=&#8221;] The short answer to the question is yes.\u00a0 When ...
