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.
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.
We have a lawyer but he has not contact us back. We are behind on the mortgage.
A concurrence in relief from stay refers to a situation in bankruptcy proceedings where a creditor agrees to or does not oppose another party's request to lift the automatic stay. The automatic stay is a legal provision that halts most collection actions against a debtor upon filing for bankruptcy. When a creditor files a motion for relief from stay, obtaining concurrence from other interested parties can streamline the process and increase the likelihood of the court granting the motion. This cooperation can help facilitate the resolution of disputes among creditors and the debtor.
If the motion is granted, the BK court is allowing the creditor to seize/take back the property, so no, you would not be allowed to keep the property
You file an objection to the motion for relief.
You can't, unless the liability is for fraud. You can file a motion for relief from stay, but it will not likely be granted. Unless the court grants you relief from the automatic stay, you cannot proceed. The liability will be discharged.
Relief allows the creditor to continue collection actions/foreclosure/repossession.
If relief from automatic stay has been lifted against you, the creditor may now proceed to collect the debt.
Yes, so long as you keep making the mortgage payments. If you stop paying, eventually the creditor will be allowed to foreclose on the property.
Yes.
In 37 years of bankruptcy practice, i have never seen a "No Opposition Order." If no opposition to any motion is filed, after the time allowed for such oppositions, the court issues an order allowing the motion, stating that no opposition was filed.
In bankruptcy law, an automatic 'stay' is an order goes into effect when a person files for bankruptcy. It prohibits creditors from taking certain actions against you including foreclosure proceedings. The stay gives the court time to gather all the information it needs to make a fair distribution of bankruptcy assets. The automatic stay can be lifted from certain property by the court so that property can be sold. Lenders frequently request relief from the automatic stay so a foreclosure can proceed. That relief is often granted and property can be sold."Remove from stay" is a way to say that the bankruptcy court has allowed a motion to sell the property at a foreclosure sale.
