If you find out your wages have been garnished(without your knowledge) I have been told BK will stop it, but my question is:
Will your money stop being garnished right away or does it take awhile?
Will your money stop being garnished right away or does it take awhile?
The deductions will have to stop as of the date you actually fil
The deductions will have to stop as of the date you actually file a BK case. If they keep taking money after you file, legally they would have to give it back to you.
Now that doesn't mean "getting an attorney". What I mean is that some BK attorney's will set you up on a payment plan, and they won't file the BK until you've paid them in full. Simply hiring an attorney won't stop the garnishment. You actually have to file a case in the BK court and have a case number - then the garnishments will stop.
