When a bank moves to foreclose on your home, it should not be expected that it will make any unnecessary delays. It will try to complete the foreclosure as soon as possible to save its own bottom line. You have to act with the same sense of urgency.

With the help of our Sherman Oaks foreclosure defense lawyers, you can readily file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. As soon as your filing is made official – not when your bankruptcy case ends at a later date – an automatic stay will be placed on your accounts and property, which prevents foreclosure sales until the stay is lifted. Chapter 13 bankruptcy can also mitigate debts and change second or third mortgages into unsecured debt, which can be reduced or eliminated.

There are caps on debt amounts permitted for Chapter 13 bankruptcy filers:

• Secured debt: $1,184,200
• Unsecured debt: $394,725

If your debt surpasses either of these limits, then you will most likely be unable to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This does not mean that you have no options. There is often some useful alternative that can be found if you work with a Sherman Oaks foreclosure defense attorney from our law firm.
