Depending on what the date is that the bankruptcy was filed would depend on if you can be garnished... not to mention there is an entire process that has to be done before a garnishment can be implemented. First the creditor would have to prove deliquency on bill ( which isn't hard) Secondly said account must be within the state statute of limitations ( varies state to state ) Lastly the creditor would have to have a judgment implemented on the debtor before a writ of garnishment can be implemented. ( Note if the said debt was opened during the course of the Bk then it can also be pursued stat permitting. If the debt was incurred prior to filing BK then no you could not be garnished in any way
