Answer to Question 1

The sanctions for violating the Automatic Stay are found in 11 U.S.C. 362(k), under which, an individual debtor who is injured by a willful violation of the Automatic Stay provisions of 362 is entitled to recover actual damages, costs, and attorney's fees as well as punitive damages in some cases. This section of the Bankruptcy Code, however, only applies to individuals, so a corporation may not recover damages. The debtor has the burden to prove that the creditor violated the Automatic Stay.

Answer to Question 2

The Automatic Stay typically terminates 90 to 100 days after the bankruptcy petition is filed in no asset cases filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In Chapter 13 cases, however, the Automatic Stay remains in effect for the duration of the matter. Automatic Stay is an injunction against the debtor's creditors and claimants that stops all court lawsuits and collection efforts against the debtor while the bankruptcy case is pending.
