What is an Automatic Stay?
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney explains what is an automatic stay?
The U.S. Bankruptcy Code has a provision called the Automatic Stay. The Automatic Stay, under Chapter 11 bankruptcy, was designed to prevent creditors from pursuing collections on amounts due them from the entity filing the Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Those that request an automatic stay are typically firms, companies or businesses that are seeking debt relief through filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They do this by hiring an experienced Chapter 11 bankruptcy attorney who takes the necessary steps on the debtor’s behalf to request the automatic stay.
It should be noted here that it is only allowable to lift the automatic stay per the direction of the bankruptcy judge.
