Stop Wage Garnishment and Keep Your Paychecks
Having your wages garnished because of a creditor judgment against you may make your debts seem even more overwhelming. Although one creditor is getting money, without your full income, you are forced to struggle to meet your day-to-day expenses. Paying off your other debts becomes even more challenging. There are ways to stop wage garnishment, even if it has already started.

File for Bankruptcy to Stop Wage Garnishment
Any time Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is filed, an automatic stay goes into place. An automatic stay requires that creditors stop all debt collection actions they are taking against you, including wage garnishment. The automatic stay can even stop lawsuits and collection proceedings before they lead to judgments and wage garnishment.
If a creditor files a lawsuit against you and you do not respond to that lawsuit, you will have a judgment against you. The creditor then has the right to collect on that judgment, and wage garnishment is a popular method.
Bankruptcy stops all of that and, perhaps more importantly, allows you to get your debt under control so that you do not have to face these threats again. You want to be able to keep your paychecks, and you don't want to have your life ruined by debt. Bankruptcy can help.
