When you don’t have the time it normally takes to file the proper documents, detailed financial history statements, and other paperwork for bankruptcy, consider seeking the advice of My AZ Lawyers to discuss the option of an emergency bankruptcy.
If you need the the bankruptcy protection of an automatic stay immediately, and you cannot wait to complete all the required bankruptcy forms, an emergency bankruptcy filing may be necessary. After filing for bankruptcy, the automatic stay instantly stops most creditors from collection activity. The automatic stay is a powerful protection as it prohibits a lawsuit filed against you and most actions against your property by a collection agency or creditor.
Why an Emergency Bankruptcy?
After deciding to file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, there is a filing process including gathering documents, completing forms, and pre-bankruptcy planning. If your case requires that you need to file for bankruptcy and there is no time for extensive paperwork, you can file an emergency bankruptcy. The decision to file for an emergency bankruptcy may depend on specific circumstances that make it necessary to file the emergency petition.
An emergency bankruptcy can prevent:
- Car repossession
- Eviction
- Home foreclosure
- A lawsuit against you
- Wage garnishment
