What are the exceptions to the automatic stay imposed by Bankruptcy?

Filing for bankruptcy provides many benefits, one of which is the so-called "automatic stay" wherein your creditors cannot legally proceed against you to attach your wages, take your possessions, etc. They cannot call you and harass you at home or at work, write nasty letters to your boss or to your home, call you in the middle of the night or file a lawsuit against you. They cannot lien your property, terminate your food stamps or other public assistance benefits, or seize your bank account or property.  

If they try and do so ---SEE A LAWYER RIGHT NOW! There are some exceptions, however, of which you should be aware.  If you have received notice of tax audit, this will not stop the the IRS from proceeding, however the IRS cannot issue and record a lien against your property at that point.  Criminal proceedings, as you might expect, are not stopped by a bankruptcy. But all other scenarios do stop the creditors if they have been provided sufficient notice (except paternity, spousal and child support), so stop being kicked around and bullied by these unconscionable bill collectors and come to our office and let us help you protect your rights and start a new, fresh life without debt worry.
