Yes. When the bankruptcy is filed an automatic stay goes into effect which halts all creditor action until the bankruptcy is completed and discharged. Creditors may request a lift of stay from the bankruptcy court, if it is granted the creditor may continue collection procedures including those such as a wage garnishment that is in affect. A lift of stay is rarely granted when the issue is unsecured debt.
