Benefits of the Automatic Stay Oconee County GA bankruptcy lawyer
Bankruptcy attorney Athens
Eviction – If you are being evicted from your household, the automatic stay may provide some help nonetheless the new bankruptcy rules makes it easier for landlords to proceed with evictions. If your landlord already has an order of possession against you when you file, the automatic stay shall not stop the eviction proceedings; the landlord can continue just like you never filed for bankruptcy. And if the landlord alleges that you have been endangering the property or using controlled substances there, the automatic stay will not do you much good, either. In other cases, the automatic stay can buy you a few days or weeks, but the landlord will probably petition the court to lift the stay and allow the eviction and the court will probably allow the eviction.
Collection of overpayments of public benefits – If you receive public benefits and were overpaid, usually the agency can recover the overpayment out of your future checks. The automatic stay prohibits this collection. But, if you become ineligible for benefits, the automatic stay does not prevent the agency from denying or terminating benefits on that ground.
