Frequently Asked Questions
What does the automatic stay stop in a Miami bankruptcy case?
The automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362 takes effect immediately when a bankruptcy petition is filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. It halts all creditor collection activity — phone calls, letters, lawsuits, wage garnishments, bank account levies, vehicle repossessions, and mortgage foreclosure proceedings. Miami-Dade creditors who violate the stay after receiving notice can be held in contempt of court and face monetary sanctions.
How much does it cost to file bankruptcy in Miami?
The filing fee for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Florida is $338; Chapter 13 costs $313. These fees can be paid in installments or waived entirely for filers whose income falls below 150% of the federal poverty line. Attorney fees for consumer Chapter 7 cases in Miami-Dade County commonly range from $1,000 to $2,500, while Chapter 13 cases often range from $3,500 to $6,000 spread over the repayment plan.
How long does bankruptcy stay on a credit report for Miami residents?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge remains on a credit report for 10 years from the filing date; a Chapter 13 dismissal or discharge stays for 7 years. However, the negative impact on credit scores diminishes significantly over time as the filer rebuilds credit through responsible post-bankruptcy financial behavior. Many Miami-Dade filers see meaningful credit score improvement within 18–24 months of discharge.
