A Chapter 7 debtor can move to dismiss the cause for cause, but he or she must demonstrate that the dismissal will not be prejudicial to the creditors in the case. A chapter 13 is easier to dismiss, so could trying converting to a 13 and this dismissing the Chapter 13. Now SHOULD you do this? That depends on a number factors, including how much money you can get by selling the property privately without violating the creditor's rights.

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.


What is relief of stay?

Filing a bankruptcy automatically "stays" almost all actions against the debtor. It gives the debtor a temporary hiatus from actions by creditors although it is not permanent and as the procedure progresses the debtor's property may eventually be distributed. A creditor's lawyer, especially a foreclosing bank, can seek a "relief from stay" by filing a motion with the court. If the motion is granted the creditor can go ahead and foreclose on the property and sell it to satisfy its debt. That usually happens when there is no equity in the property.

The motion for relief from stay only affects the creditor's right to proceed against the property that secures the debt. The creditor's right to be paid any deficiency after sale depends on the kind of bankruptcy. In a 7, no. In a 13, it depends on what the other unsecured creditors are getting.
