To file a Motion, you should take the original and a few copies to the clerk of the court in which it should be filed. The clerk takes the original for the file, and will stamp your copies. You then serve a copy on the opposing party.

What does motion for relief relief from stay fee amount 150.00 filed by creditor Iowa law?

When you filed your bankruptcy, the court issued an automatic stay which prevents any creditor from moving forward with collection efforts. For whatever reason, this particular creditor wants to proceed with collection and it must request the permission of the bankruptcy court by filing the motion for relief from automatic stay.


What is a motion for relief from the automatic stay?

Automatic Stay is the thing that is automatically done when you file bankruptcy. It protects the assets of the bankruptcy estate. It prevents collection attempts. It stops foreclosure / evictions. A motion for relief from automatic stay is filed by a creditor when they want to foreclose, continue foreclosure, eviction, reposession, etc. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.

Why is a Motion for Relief from Stay is filed?

It is filed because a secured creditor (who has stopped receiving payments) wants to foreclose on the collateral of the loan/promissory note. It is filed because a BK filing prevents a creditor from trying any collection activity (the "stay"). So a creditor that wants to continue to collect/foreclose must seek court permission to do so- hence "relief" from "stay"

Is there anything else you need to do if you have a non-paying tenant who has filed chapter 13 and you have filed a small claims case and a motion for relief of stay?

You can't file any legal action against the non-paying tenant until the chapter 13 has been dismissed or the court grants your relief from stay motion. You can also file a motion to have the entire case dismissed if the failure to pay rent is a breach of the chapter 13 plan. If the tenant is still in the property, you will want to file an eviction lawsuit and not a small claims lawsuit.
