Can bankruptcy stop a garnishment?
Yes. As mentioned above, a bankruptcy will suspend most active legal proceedings – including garnishments. The garnishment will remain suspended until your bankruptcy concludes, or until the Court allows it to resume. If the debt in question is discharged, then the garnishment will not resume. Please understand that there are no guarantees that funds collected before your case is filed can be recovered.
