Are community credit unions exempt from obtaining relief from an automatic stay?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
I am not aware of any law that exempts any credit union from the automatic stay that takes in effect when you file for bankruptcy and which remains in effect until 30 days after the initial date of the meeting of creditors. However, it sounds like the automatic stay may not have been in effect as to the vehicle two months after you filed for bankruptcy. This assumes that you filed a Chapter 7 case and did not reaffirm the debt. Most lenders do not take the chance of repossessing a vehicle until your bankruptcy case is closed without obtaining relief of stay first but your credit union apparently took the chance. It sounds like technically they did not need relief of stay in your case. You should tell your bankruptcy attorney because if the stay was violated then you are entitled to damages from the credit union plus attorneys' fees and getting the vehicle delivered back to you.

Will bankruptcy get rid of my tax debt?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
Most taxes are not discharged in bankruptcy. Some old taxes (for tax years more than 3 years prior to filing bankruptcy) can be discharged if you meet certain requirements. You cannot take out a personal loan to pay off my taxes and then file bankruptcy to eliminate that loan.

Will filing bankrucky help you pay off your title loan?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Todd Allen Whiteley (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Todd Whiteley
Bankruptcy does not change the financial terms of any secured loan or installment agreement. So bankruptcy does not help you pay off the loan. But when a bankruptcy is filed, the Automatic Stay immediately goes into effect and the creditor is prohibited from foreclosing or repossessing the collateral (i.e. home, car, etc.). Ultimately, this is only a temporary reprieve from the debt, until one of several things happen (some of which are listed below): 1. The creditor seeks and obtains relief from the automatic stay, and thereafter repossesses or forecloses on the property. 2. Debtors financial situation has improved, and debtor files a chapter 13 plan that makes adequate protection payments to secured creditor while catching up arrears. 3. Debtors obtain loan modification with terms they can pay and pay on time. 4. In chapter 7, the bankruptcy discharge is granted and the protection of the Automatic Stay is lifted.
