The thought of being turned out of one’s home and having nowhere to go is terrifying. Yet, many people in Mississippi face this as a very real prospect. Such situations often occur through foreclosure. A homeowner falls behind in mortgage payments, and the lenders call in the loan. One thing that can stop foreclosure in its tracks is bankruptcy.
If a person files for bankruptcy, it activates a stay against collection attempts, litigation and foreclosure. Since there are various types of bankruptcy, it is important to determine which type best fits one’s needs. There are eligibility requirements associated with each program, as well.
