How does one stop wage garnishment?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
There is no such thing as a best way to stop a wage garnishment. There are a number of choices and each comes with its own price tag. How much is the court judgment that led to the wage garnishment? What type of debt is the judgment for? Without more details, you might as well ask if it is better to order chicken or fish.

Hi, I wanted to ask if I'm able to claim bankupcy with only owing maybe 15, 000 together in bills and credit card debt.

Answered by attorney Michael D. Siegel
Bankruptcy lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
To answer your question, you meet the requirements.  However, you might do better answering the suit and trying to settle each debt.  $15,000 is not a lot of debt for a bankruptcy.  The legal fees and long term credit consequences might be more than you could pay in a settlement.

Can the bank take my car if I file for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Jeremy B Shephard (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at David Andersen & Associates, PC
No. If you own a car free and clear then you would likely be able to exempt the car and keep it in a Chapter 7 proceeding. You are provided exemptions in a bankruptcy that allow you to keep so much "stuff."
