How to Stop Wage Garnishment by Filing Bankruptcy

Are your wages being garnished? If so, you are well aware of the stress that this situation causes. There was obviously not enough income to begin with or you wouldn’t have gotten behind on your payments but now that they are garnishing your wages this is certainly making the situation worse – not better. If you have a family this only magnifies the situation.

By filing personal bankruptcy either Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy you will be able to stop your wage garnishment – in many cases the garnishment can be stopped immediately.

As mentioned above, wage garnishment can deplete the limited amount of resources that you are bringing into your home. This can make it difficult to even provide the basic necessities for yourself and your family. When you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy you will be able to take advantage of your full paycheck once again and use this to provide for your family. Being able to do this is not the only benefit to filing for bankruptcy either.

The best thing about filing personal bankruptcy is that you are able to get a fresh start. You are able to wipe the slate clean – free of the stress and worry about how you are going to find a way to pay the bills you cannot pay.

Additional Benefits of Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
