How to Stop Garnishment By Creditors

Garnishments occur when creditors pursue a judgment to divert money from your paycheck, checking/savings accounts or tax refund in order to satisfy an outstanding debt. Up to 25 percent of your net pay can be taken. Creditors can even get at protected income such as Social Security Disability payments or tax refunds if the funds are deposited in an account targeted for garnishment.

Our experienced attorneys know how to help you effectively avoid potential wage garnishments or stop an existing garnishment from continuing by:

  • Putting a definite and immediate halt to garnishments through bankruptcy
  • Eliminating the related debt obligation under Chapter 7
  • Establishing a structured debt repayment plan under Chapter 13 with more favorable terms
  • Finding possible alternatives to bankruptcy

Can I Recover Money Already Garnished?

Even after garnishments have begun, you may be able to recover some of the income you have lost, depending on your circumstances. Garnishments and other debt relief matters can be complex, and experienced bankruptcy law assistance is essential. Whether you face potential home foreclosure, repossession of a car or wage garnishments and other financial trouble, we can determine the ideal strategy for your circumstances in a confidential consultation.
