Don't Wait Until Your Wages Are Being Garnished
Cravens & Noll
Many people wait too long, for many different reasons. People don't want to talk with an attorney about their debt-relief options until their wages are already being garnished.
If you call us right away, there is a better chance we can prevent wage garnishments from happening. Wage garnishments do not happen overnight. The creditor must first go through a lengthy legal process before garnishing your pay, which includes getting a legal judgment against you in court.
If you're facing serious debt or garnishments, contact us. Come in for a free consultation so you can understand your legal options. One of the best reasons why you need an experienced bankruptcy lawyer is to help you through the process, to be on your side. Let us help you.
Will Bankruptcy Stop Wage Garnishments? ∙ Virginia Bankruptcy Laws
Yes and no. Filing for bankruptcy will not automatically stop all forms of wage garnishments. There is good news, though:
- Breathing room: When you file for bankruptcy, there is a legal stay that prohibits creditors from continuing their collections activities throughout the bankruptcy process. This will give you some breathing room.
- Stop garnishments in many cases: Although it is not a guarantee, most people who file for bankruptcy can get the garnishments to stop.
- Recover past garnished money: In many cases we can go back and get money that has already been garnished.
There might be other options, as well. We always look for every possible alternative before encouraging our clients file for bankruptcy. If there is another option, we will help you find it.
