Relief from Stay Motion

A Relief from Stay Motion is a request filed with the bankruptcy court by a creditor or other interested party seeking to lift the automatic stay that the court imposes when someone files for bankruptcy. The automatic stay generally prevents creditors from taking further action to collect debts. When a Relief from Stay Motion is granted, it allows the creditor to proceed with their legal rights, such as repossession or foreclosure, despite the bankruptcy. This motion is typically filed when the creditor believes the debtor has no intention of resolving the debt or if the property is not necessary for the bankruptcy estate.
