…different attorneys, if these so-called bankruptcy attorneys don’t know what an automatic stay is!
Filing a BK petition brings an immediate halt (or “stay”) to all collection activity against a debtor, including foreclosure or eviction proceedings.
The stay will remain in effect until the debt is reaffirmed, the petition is dismissed, the bankruptcy is discharged or the court grants a motion for relief of stay, which would typically be brought by a creditor seeking to proceed with eviction or foreclosure and sale.
