Will bankruptcy stop a foreclosure proceeding or eviction?

Chapter 7 will stop a foreclosure or eviction temporarily, but a creditor can usually get the court's permission to proceed fairly quickly.  Chapter 13 will stop foreclosure and allow a mortgage default to be cured through the Chapter 13 repayment plan.  Keeping your home is one of the most critical issues you will face in bankruptcy, and if you are a homeowner you should see an attorney, especially if you are currently in foreclosure.
