How Does a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Stop the Foreclosure of Your Home?

How Does a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Stop the Foreclosure of Your Home?

“Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help stop the foreclosure of your home by implementing an automatic stay, which is a court order that prevents creditors from taking any collection actions against you, including foreclosure proceedings.
