Los Angeles, California Sample Letter regarding Answer to Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay and Abandonment [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Bankruptcy Clerk] [United States Bankruptcy Court] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Case No: [Case Number] Chapter [Chapter Number] Subject: Answer to Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay and Abandonment Dear [Bankruptcy Clerk], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing in response to the Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay and Abandonment filed by [Creditor Name] on [Date]. As the debtor in the above-mentioned bankruptcy case, I would like to provide my formal answer to the Motion and request the Court's consideration of my objections. I would like to highlight the following in response to the Motion: 1. Preservation of Automatic Stay: It is my strong belief that granting relief from the automatic stay in this case would severely prejudice my rights as the debtor. The automatic stay was put in place to provide me with the necessary protection to reorganize my finances and work towards a successful resolution of my debts. 2. Substantial Equity: Contrary to the Creditor's claim that there is little to no equity in the property subject to the Motion, I firmly contest this assertion. The property in question holds significant equity, which should not be overlooked when considering the Motion. 3. Good Faith: I want to emphasize that I am acting in good faith and have made consistent efforts to comply with the provisions of the bankruptcy laws. I have diligently made all necessary payments required under my Chapter [Chapter Number] reorganization plan and continue to do so until completion. 4. The Best Interests of Creditors: It is imperative to consider the overall best interests of all creditors involved in this case. Granting the Motion would ultimately harm both my ability to successfully reorganize and the ability of other creditors to receive fair treatment. In light of the points mentioned above, I respectfully request the Court to deny the Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay and Abandonment filed by [Creditor Name]. I firmly believe that my financial reorganization efforts should not be disrupted, and that by working within the existing framework, all parties involved will have the opportunity to benefit from a positive outcome. I kindly request a hearing to present my objections formally. Please inform me of the scheduled date and time, allowing me adequate notice to prepare and present my case effectively. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you require any additional documentation or information to support my objections, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. Sincerely, [Your Name]
