An automatic stay provides for which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An automatic stay is a court order that automatically stops most collection actions against the debtor, including foreclosures, repossessions, garnishments, and lawsuits. However, it does not provide for the automatic discharge of any debts. The discharge of debts is a separate process that occurs after the bankruptcy case is filed and depends on the type of debt and the type of bankruptcy being filed. Secured debts, such as those for a car or house, may be discharged in bankruptcy but only if the debtor surrenders the collateral.
