Ending Wage Garnishment Through Florida Bankruptcy
One of the tools that credit card companies, collection agencies and other creditors can use to recover outstanding debts is to garnish the wages of debtors. Sometimes, this garnishment can be for up to 25 percent of your net wages, which can be devastating, especially if you are already faced with significant amounts of debt. Fortunately, bankruptcy can stop wage garnishments and other collection activities.
At the P.R. Smith Law Group in Tampa, our lawyers have filed more than 50,000 bankruptcies for individuals and families who need debt relief from wage garnishments, lawsuits and other collection activities. In Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, we can help you stop wage garnishments and other activities in Florida.
Take Action With Us to Protect Your Wages
Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 both stop wage garnishment. If you have been threatened with garnishment but it has not happened yet, filing bankruptcy before your next payday can stop it. If garnishment has already started, the sooner you file, the more of your own wages you will be able to keep for yourself.
Garnishment can come from judgments in private lawsuits, from credit card companies, from medical or hospital collections, from the IRS or from other sources can stop immediately once a bankruptcy is filed.
