The Automatic Stay
(For Beginners and Experts)
A NorthLegal Webinar
Recorded October 27, 2005

Program Description
It's one of the most important concepts in bankruptcy, and it's one of the most misunderstood. It's something every person at the credit union who may come into contact with a debtor needs to understand: the automatic stay. If you think you're frustrated by debtors who avoid repayment of their debts through bankruptcy, imagine how you'll feel if you have to pay money to such a debtor because you said the wrong thing at the wrong time!

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act makes important changes to the rules relating to the automatic stay, while leaving other important parts intact. Credit unions have new protections, but face more complicated rules.

Join credit union attorney Eric North for this prerecorded, information-packed, 90 minute webinar focusing on this specific and very important subject!   During this program, you will learn about:

• New automatic stay rules that protect creditors from serial filings.
• New automatic stay rules that can help you obtain reaffirmations.
• New limitations on penalties for violation of the automatic stay.
• How common myths about the automatic stay cause losses and place creditors at risk.
• Exactly what the automatic stay does and doesn't prohibit.
• When the credit union is entitled to relief from the automatic stay.
• Keys to analyzing and resolving automatic stay problems.

This program should be required not only for bankruptcy specialists and collectors, but for those who supervise them as well! This is an opportunity for everyone to learn about this topic, to test their existing understanding, or to just get the latest information, all for one price.
