How long will my chapter 14 bankruptcy take?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
You obviously meant Chapter 13 since Chapter 14 does not exist. Once you file the creditors can take no action against you or your money or property without bankruptcy court permission. That includes taking money from your account. Wells Fargo has been freezing accounts saying that they are doing to protect the bankruptcy estate and asking for permission from the trustee to unfreeze the funds. Usually the trustee will immediately tell Wells Fargo to release the funds. Wells Fargo will usually do it if the amount is over $5,000. There is a case pending challenging that practice by Wells Fargo. There is something called a "set off" where the bank claims to have a lien on the funds on deposit to pay outstanding debts to the same bank. The safest thing is not to have money in any bank to which you owe money and not to have too much in the bank accounts. You can take the money out but declare it in the petition since you must tell the truth in the bankruptcy case.

Can you help me stop the garnishment or lower it by filing the proper paper work?

While I don't know all the details of your case, it would seem as if bankruptcy is the only way to stop the garnishment. Once your bankruptcy is filed in federal court, the garnishment can be halted.

Judgment liens require a motion to avoid lien under section 522 (f) to be removed in a bankruptcy. Consult an attorney as to the procedure to do this.
