    If you were told that by your bankruptcy lawyer, follow the advice of your lawyer.

    Bankruptcy, once it is filed, does freeze the foreclosure process. You would need to get the bankruptcy filed and serve notice of the proceedings prior to the scheduled sale. I would suggest working with a lawyer, to help ensure that this is done correctly and in a timely manner.
