Garnished funds will NOT be returned to you. If it was a significant amount, the bk Trustee can claw back that money and use it to pay your creditors. Otherwise, that money is gone.

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.
Can you get your garnished wages refunded?
Depending on when your bankruptcy is filed, on the day it was filed, the wage garnishment must stop. If it didn't stop on that day, you are entitled to have your garnished wages refunded. However, no wages will be refunded prior to your bankruptcy filing date.

If you just filed chapter 7 two weeks ago and you had a garnishment coming out of your pay and you were told that you will get this money back how long does it take to get the money back?
Wage garnishments are usually handled by a process server or a government officialy such as the county sheriff's office. The judgment creditor has on obligation stop the garnishment right away. There isn't a specific time deadline to return the money that was garnished after the bankruptcy was filed, but it should be returned ASAP. If you don't have it back within a couple of weeks, file a motion with the bankruptcy court.

Does filing bankruptcy stop garnishment of wages due to judgment on credit card debt?
Filing bankruptcy can stop a garnishment immediately. Ifall funds that have been garnished have been properly exempted, the garnished funds can even be returned to the debtor. When a bankruptcy is filed, a special provision of the bankruptcy code kicks in and stops all creditor action to collect a debt. The special provision of the bankruptcy code is Section 362 and is called "the Automatic Stay". The Automatic Stay is a court order to all creditors to stop collecting debts immediately. When a paycheck or bank account is garnished, money is taken from the paycheck or other account and held until a certain time when the money is supposed to be delivered to court and turned over to the creditor. The date that the creditor is supposed to pick up the garnished funds in court is often called "the return date". If a bankruptcy is filed before the return date set for the garnishment, the garnishment is immediately stopped and the creditor cannot continue to collect the debt through the garnishment method. However, understand that the debt the garnishment is paying isn't extinguished or reduced...it will be resolved in the BK. The above probably won't apply to child support or such...which rightfully gets no breaks.
