Wage Garnishment Just Started — Can Bankruptcy Stop It?

Latest News

How Bankruptcy Can Lower Your Interest Rate or Save Your Vehicle

If money is being taken from your paycheck by creditors, you may feel powerless — but bankruptcy gives you back control.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Bankruptcy immediately stops most wage garnishments through something called the automatic stay.
  • This legal protection takes effect the moment your case is filed.
  • Creditors must halt deductions, and in some cases, you may even recover recently garnished wages.

Which Debts Are Affected?

  • Credit card and medical debt garnishments are generally stopped.
  • Child support and recent tax debt garnishments may continue, but bankruptcy can still help structure payments.

If your paycheck just got smaller — or you fear it will — reach out to Sigal Law Firm today. We’ll move fast to protect your income and restore peace of mind.
