Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay is a request by a creditor to allow the creditor to take action against the debtor or the debtor's property that would otherwise be prohibited by the automatic stay.
Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay is a request by a creditor to allow the creditor to take action against the debtor or the debtor's property that would otherwise be prohibited by the automatic stay.
The automatic stay provides a period of time in which all judgments, collection activities, foreclosures, and repossessions of property are suspended and may not be pursued by the creditors on any debt or claim that arose before the filing of the bankruptcy petition.
The automatic stay remains in effect until the case is closed or dismissed or, in an individual case, until the granting or denial of the debtor's discharge, whichever happens first. Creditors may file a Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay requesting the stay be lifted to allow them to pursue their legal rights.
An order for relief invokes the automatic stay and brings down an iron curtain, separating the pre-bankruptcy from the post-bankruptcy debtor, creating a bankruptcy estate and prohibiting unauthorized transfers of the debtor's property.
The Stay Has Been Lifted ? Now What? Once a creditor gets a court order lifting the automatic stay, they are allowed to move forward with foreclosure or repossession of the property that secures the debt. That said, the creditor still needs to follow state law for their collection or eviction proceedings.
