Bankruptcy Question #2: Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure?

Yes. If you are facing a foreclosure on your home, filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you avoid it. Chapter 13 bankruptcies allow you to hold onto your property and create a better repayment plan for your future. When you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect that means creditors, including your mortgage lender, cannot try to collect until your repayment plan is created by the court.
