Stop Foreclosure Using the Bankruptcy Code
If you are facing the loss of your home, you may be able to stop foreclosure by using protections put in place by the Bankruptcy Code. Filing a bankruptcy petition will "stay" (or stop) the foreclosure proceedings, including the sheriff's sale.

At our law office, Mr. Ruehle represents people throughout Ohio and Northern Kentucky in bankruptcy actions designed to protect their home and help them get back on their feet.

Stop Foreclosure Using Chapter 13
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows homeowners with regular income to save their home by spreading out past-due mortgage payments over three to five years.
These payments are determined first by you and your attorney. Together you will analyze your budget and determine the amount of disposable income available to pay your mortgage and other creditors. This helps you understand what monthly amount you can reasonably afford to pay. You and your lawyer can then take your calculations to the bankruptcy court and ask the trustee to approve them.
