A creditor (except the government) can't garnish your wages until they have a judgment against you. Once they have a judgment, there are only two ways to stop a garnishment.One, work out a deal with the creditor to take a payment instead of garnishing your wages - usually this would involve making a lump sum payment. Two, file bankruptcy. Bankruptcy stops all garnishments.

The $6,000 in the brokerage account, which I assume is not a retirement account, would be an asset that the trustee would take. I am assuming your are keeping your home. You should consult an attorney.

Am I legally responsible for foreclosure fees after bankruptcy discharge and not reaffirming my mortgage?

Answered by attorney Raymond J. Dague (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Raymond J. Dague, PLLC
Your obligation under the mortgage note was to pay legal fees in the event of a foreclosure. But when you filed bankruptcy (and did not reaffirm the mortgage obligation) you got rid of your obligation to the bank including the obligation for the legal fees.
