Augusta Bankruptcy Has Automatic Stay Provision

Bankruptcy can prevent you from being evicted from your apartment. Bankruptcy has an automatic stay provision. When you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay comes into effect. During the stay, creditors cannot seek to collect the debt from you. If you landlord has been threatening to evict you the automatic stay may just help you stay in your apartment. However the new bankruptcy laws have made it easier for landlords to evict non-payers of the rent. If your landlord created a judgment of possession against, prior to you filing bankruptcy, then likely they can evict you. Automatic stay will not defend you if you have hurt the landlord's property. Any lawsuits filed against you must be stopped as well. When a debt is discharged in bankruptcy, it is no longer enforceable against the debtor personally. The debtor is no longer required to pay the debt, or the portion of the debt that has been discharged, nor can the debtor be subject to collection activity on the debt, including being sued on the debt. A bankruptcy discharge serves to erase the debt and give the debtor a fresh start financially. Hundreds of Americans turn to bankruptcy everyday, to help them out of financial stresses.
