With decades of experience, business bankruptcy attorney Ted Stapleton offers represents creditors in Atlanta relief from stay matters at surprisingly affordable rates.
What is a Relief from Stay?
In bankruptcy proceedings, an automatic stay is an injunction that stops creditors, with certain exceptions, from initiating or continuing with lawsuits, wage garnishments, or even making phone calls demanding payments. This allows the debtor a breathing space to reorganize or formulate a repayment plan.
However, there are situations where a creditor might feel the need to bypass this stay and continue with their collection efforts. This is where the relief from stay motion comes into play.
When is Relief from Stay Appropriate?
A creditor might seek relief from the automatic stay if:
- The property in question isn't necessary for the debtor's reorganization plan.
- The debtor doesn't have equity in the property, and it's not a necessary part of the reorganization.
- There's a high risk that the creditor's interest in the property will diminish during the stay, such as in cases where property insurance lapses or property taxes go unpaid.
