Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Georgia

I filed chapter 7 on Aug 5 to stop my home from being sold on Aug 6 in foreclosure. Around September 5, my bankuptcy case was dismissed and voided. Meanwhile my house was sold on Aug 6. #1 Was I under any protection on Aug 6? #2 Was the sale legally held on Aug 6? Even though my case has been dismissed, was I proteted until then?

Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on facts we don't have, and you did not tell us. How many cases have you filed? What orders were entered in the BR case? What do you mean the case was "voided?" The one person who knows is your BR lawyer.

Maybe. Maybe not. It is almost impossible for a chapter 7 to get dismissed, so I assume you messed up very badly. It is almost impossible to do a chapter 7 right without counsel. If you had counsel, call him. If you didn't, you need counsel. You may or may not have been under a stay, and no one who has not seen the docket will know.
