When you are struggling with debt, wage garnishment can make an already difficult situation impossible. If your paycheck is in danger because of wage garnishment by creditors, filing for bankruptcy may be the best solution. At Gogel & Gogel, we have more than 20 years of experience helping clients keep control of their own money in Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut. If you are facing wage garnishment from creditors, contact us to schedule a free phone consultation to find out how we can help you protect your rights.
The Power of an Automatic Stay
Among the many benefits of bankruptcy is the automatic stay. By filing for any form of bankruptcy, you can stop wage garnishment and other creditor collection actions. As soon as you file for bankruptcy, all creditors must communicate with you through your attorneys. This is the benefit of the automatic stay:
- Creditors cannot call you at home or work
- They must stop wage garnishment
- All creditor harassment and collection actions must end
This is designed to give you time to complete the bankruptcy process. Consumer bankruptcy (chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy) can be a complex process, especially if you have a difficult financial situation. We will explain your legal options and guide you through the bankruptcy.
