The Immediate Impact of Bankruptcy
Wage garnishment can be overcome by bankruptcy at any time. Wage garnishment is the result of a creditor lawsuit that results in a judgment against you. Even if the lawsuit is still in progress, bankruptcy will make it stop. If the garnishment has not started, it will be prevented by filing bankruptcy. If your wages have already been garnished, the garnishment will stop as soon as you file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
In addition, when you file bankruptcy, no creditor can levy your bank account or place a lien on your property. Furthermore, if the debt is discharged in bankruptcy, creditors will be forever barred from levying or garnishing. Liens are slightly more challenging and may require a different approach. We know how to deal with them.
