Stop Your Wage Garnishment
Do not let your paycheck and bank account be seized. Act now.
Has your paycheck been garnished (taken)? Has your bank account been frozen? If you are like most people, you cannot afford that. You can STOP the garnishment process in its tracks. In many cases, you can get the money back. But you need to act quickly.
Options For Stopping Garnishment
What are your options? You should talk to an attorney about your own situation, but usually, the options are these:
- Object to the garnishment in the state court.
- File a bankruptcy case.
We can help you with both options, but the first option may only solve a part of your problem and may only delay the collection process.
Bankruptcy Provides Real Debt Relief
Bankruptcy often is the better solution, since it will deal with many of your other debts, too, and will stop the garnishment permanently. But, you may wonder how can you afford to file bankruptcy when your paycheck is smaller or your bank account has been frozen?

Questions About Debt Relief
Q: What if I don’t file a bankruptcy case?
A: Still contact us, and we will see if we can save you some money. There are limits on how much can be garnished from each paycheck (usually about 25% of after-tax earnings) and per year (depending on your income level), but you may be able to get a court order returning some of the funds to you or reducing the amount that can be taken in the future based on your expenses.
Q: How will this affect my credit?
A: It depends on your current credit score. If you have a court judgment against you, your credit score is probably very low, and filing for bankruptcy will probably not hurt it any further — it may actually help it.
Q: What if I am being garnished for child support, by a student loan lender or the government for taxes?
A: Special rules apply in these situations. Talk to us if these situations affect you.
