FORFEITURE / FORECLOSURE OF LAND CONTRACT AGAINST SERIAL BANKRUPTCY FILER

Our collections and litigation attorneys recently successfully defended against a serial bankruptcy filer in the Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Michigan (Detroit) that was prohibiting our client from forfeiting/foreclosing their land contract interests. The debtor filed her fifth Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, and our client, represented by attorney Brad A. Brelinski, quickly filed an objection to the extension of the automatic stay, and appeared and successfully argued against the stay extension in Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Judge agreed with our clients' position and denied the debtor's request, allowing our client to pursue the land contract default and forfeiture/foreclosure in state court in Jackson, Michigan.
