Defending Against Wage Garnishment Collections

The inability to remain current on payments can subject you to a number of collateral consequences. Problems with debt are certainly a frightening experience, but when additional pressures are added, times can become incredibly tough. As our firm knows that clients who come to our firm are often facing numerous debt collection activities, we always make it a point to help alleviate their immediate concerns and pressures. Equipped with the skills, experience, and commitment needed to successfully defend against all forms of collections, our Arlington bankruptcy lawyers are here to help you fight back against wage garnishment.

Although no form of debt collection is easy, wage garnishment is perhaps one of the most detrimental. Wage garnishment is the automatic deduction of funds directly from a consumer's work wages (paycheck). These funds are deducted before you have access to them and are used to pay a portion of your preexisting debts. A direct siphoning of your income can greatly compromise your personal well-being, making it difficult to pay necessary bills and essential household expenses. Wage garnishment is one of the most serious and drastic collections actions, and a strong indication that you can benefit from legal assistance.

If you or your loved one are currently facing wage garnishment, or if you believe that such actions may soon be taken by creditors, then you can take comfort knowing that there are options available and that our legal team can help. By helping you file a formal bankruptcy petition with the court, a court order known as the automatic stay will be issued. The automatic stay orders all collection activities against you to cease while your bankruptcy is pending. This means that wage garnishment, in addition to collections such as repossessions, will halt. You can use this time, and newly available funds, to catch up on missed payments or to prepare for bankruptcy and your financial future.
