Bankruptcy Prevents Garnishments and Levies

Has a Creditor obtained a judgment against you in Court and is garnishing your wages? Do you owe back taxes to a government entity that is garnishing your wages or placing liens against your property? Filing a Bankruptcy case will immediately put an end to such enforcement measures and prevent further garnishment or levies on your bank account from continuing.

How Bankruptcy Stops Wage Garnishment and Levies

When a Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or a Chapter 13 case is filed, an automatic stay goes into place. The automatic stay immediately stops the wage garnishment. Upon entry of your discharge, the debt is cancelled or otherwise satisfied and the Creditor cannot garnish your wages again. The Bankruptcy process is a permanent solution. Filing Bankruptcy allows you to eliminate your debt that caused the garnishment or levies on your accounts, including the tax debt, so that you can move forward without having to worry about these issues in the future.
