Can bankruptcy stop wage garnishments?
Yes, filing bankruptcy stops most wage garnishments immediately. If an employer withheld money and did not send it to the creditor or court, the moment you file bankruptcy you may be entitled to the return of those funds. While a bankruptcy filing cannot generally recover money already paid to a creditor, it can stop any further deductions from your check. At The Sader Law Firm, we are able to file cases quickly to help you keep the money you earned.
