After creditors obtain a judgment in a lawsuit against you, they can also garnish your wages and can take non-exempt funds to satisfy that judgment. Having your hard-earned money taken away from you by creditors can feel like you have been violated or have lost control. It can be embarrassing when your employer is notified of the judgment in the garnishment order.
You do not have to suffer through this on your own. Wage garnishment can be stopped or even prevented. We can represent you by requesting a hearing on the garnishment or stop garnishment completely by filing for bankruptcy. Do not hesitate to contact us before facing a garnishment.
If you want to preserve your rights and maintain control over your money, use experienced bankruptcy counsel at the law firm of White & Fish, L.P.A., Inc. Columbus stop wage garnishment attorneys, Arnold S. White and Jeffrey D. Fish have nearly 60 years of combined experience. They provide personal attention to each client and each individual case. Contact us to put a stop to wage and income garnishment.
Filing for bankruptcy is an effective method of stopping wage garnishment. The moment that you file for bankruptcy, your attorney can contact the creditor to cease wage garnishment immediately. Bankruptcy also can discharge your debt completely or allow you time to reorganize a manageable payment plan. If you can't file for bankruptcy, an experienced Columbus attorney can stop wage garnishment and can negotiate with creditors on your behalf before wage garnishment is enforced.
You have certain rights even if your wages are being garnished. For example, certain wages are exempt from being garnished such as retirement benefits and Social Security. A bankruptcy attorney can explain your rights to you and make sure that they are enforced.
If you have already received notice from a creditor regarding a lawsuit against you, now is the time to act. Simply ignoring the notice will not stop creditors. They will pursue action against you. That is why you need to protect yourself and consider competent legal representation. Solve the problem before it starts by being proactive and securing your financial future today.
