If your wages are being garnished after you filed for bankruptcy in Ohio can the collection agency keep what they've taken and how can you stop the garnishment?

Once the bankruptcy is filed the automatic stay will halt the garnishment action. However, monies taken before the bankrupcy was filed will not be returned to the debtor.
