How does the Automatic Stay Protect Me in a Glendale Bankruptcy?

When you file your bankruptcy petition, the Automatic Stay goes into effect. The Automatic Stay freezes your assets, which means your creditors can no longer continue with collection efforts. Wage garnishments, bank levies, vehicle repossessions, home foreclosures, creditor calls, and more, must stop once your petition has been filed. With limited exceptions, the Automatic Stay lasts until your case is discharged or dismissed. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, this is generally about 4 to 6 months. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy lasts 3 or 5 years.

Which is Better – Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or Chapter 13?

One factor to consider when choosing between bankruptcy chapters is whether your assets are protected by bankruptcy exemptions. Therefore, any assets that exceed these limits in equity can be seized in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy to auction off and pay creditors. Plus, Arizona doesn’t allow for federal exemptions, and some Arizona exemptions are quite low. Others vary based on your marital status and other factors. You won’t need to worry about protecting your property with exemptions in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Thus, our Glendale bankruptcy lawyers can help you figure out if your assets would be protected in Chapter 7, or if you should file Chapter 13 instead. 
There are other reasons you may need to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead of Chapter 7. For instance, there are strict waiting periods and income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy- you must either make less than Arizona’s state median income for your household size, or pass the Means Test. ALso, your case will be dismissed if your income is too high for Chapter 7, and the Automatic Stay will be deactivated. Thus, in this case, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy will mean your case won’t be dismissed for excessive income, and the protections from the Automatic Stay will be extended even longer.
