CAN FILING AN INDIANA BANKRUPTCY STOP A SHERIFF SALE?
Many times we hear our clients ask, “Can filing an Indiana Bankruptcy stop a sheriff sale?”. The answer is YES. Filing an Indiana Bankruptcy will stop a sheriff sale. Filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Indiana can stop the sale even after it has already been set. By filing a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, it will postpone the sale. There is not a mechanism for the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy to bring the home back up-to-date, so our clients usually try to work out a loan modification or agree to another solution with the mortgage company if they want to stay in the home.
On the other hand, filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Indiana could also be a very powerful tool to stop a Sheriff Sale and then help the homeowner come up-to-date on the mortgage. Chapter 13 helps to establish a new payment plan and has a way to pay back arrears during the life of the plan. If you have a Sheriff Sale already set for your house, don’t think that all hope is lost. Contact us and we can stop it.
