  Stop Foreclosure With Chapter 13
Posted By Malaise Law Firm

If you are one of the millions of Americans facing foreclosure, you should take a moment to contact a Dallas bankruptcy attorney at the Malaise Law Firm about ways to fight foreclosure. While there are many alternatives to foreclosure, one of the most effective ways of fighting foreclosure is by filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Chapter 13 gives people struggling with debt the opportunity to reorganize their debts and finances without the pressure of banks, lenders, or creditors breathing down their necks. During a Chapter 13 bankruptcy the debtor not only is given the opportunity to reorganize his or her finances, but also works out a plan with the bankruptcy court to repay their debts over the course of three to five years. Sometimes the court will agree to let the debtor include mortgage debt as part of the repayment plan, thus saving the debtor from losing their home in foreclosure. Once the repayment plan has been approved, an automatic stay will be imposed that will stop any foreclosure action from moving forward.

The threat of foreclosure is a frightening thing to face. If you are interested in learning more about ways you can fight foreclosure, consider contacting a knowledgeable and highly experienced Dallas bankruptcy lawyer at the Malaise Law Firm today. We look forward to speaking with you and helping you save your home!

Before that arrival date, you will receive correspondence from your mortgage company dictating that your are in default of your mortgage and ways to cure the default to avoid the foreclosure. You can call family, friends and long lost relatives but the most effective way to avoid the foreclosure of your home is the possibility of filing a chapter 13 under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. How is this possible? When an individual(s) files a chapter 13 bankruptcy the "automatic stay" will go into effect immediately. The "stay" is the legal remedy to prevent the sale of your home. As an extra bonus, your mortgage company can longer have any contact with you but through your legal representative. In Fort Worth an Dallas, the mortgage company is permitted to send you the regular monthly billing statement because you must continue making your regular monthly mortgage payments in a timely fashion after you file chapter 13 in Fort Worth or Dallas. It gets better, you may be able to  repay the arrears of your mortgage payments either in a minimum of three (3) years or up to a maximum of five (5) years dependent upon certain factors of your case.
