The "automatic stay" is a powerful legal injunction that goes into effect the moment a bankruptcy petition is filed. It essentially puts a temporary halt on most collection actions against the debtor (the person or entity filing for bankruptcy). It's a fundamental protection offered by bankruptcy law, designed to give debtors some breathing room from their creditors while their bankruptcy case is processed. The Lawyers at Castle Law are available to answer any questions that you may have.
