Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Georgia
Levy confusion
Our levied items are being held at County Sherrif's office, pending that the defendant files bankruptcy. They say that if he files he gets his items back, but we have been informed that it's handed to the court appointed trustee. How do I convince them that this is correct? Are their any web pages, or laws I can print out and show them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Levy confusion
Your post is far from clear. Has the defendant/debtor filed a bankruptcy petition? In one place you say "if," and in another you reference a trustee. What is the "it" that has been "handed" to the trustee? What is the "this" that you believe is correct? You may want to repost a more clear post. However, this may answer your question - whenever a bankruptcy is filed, creditors must immediately stop ALL collection efforts.
