No!! except in cases of I believe child support, or money owed to the I.R.S. and stuff. But your average VISA, MasterCard, or J.C. PENNY charge account ? No they can't garnish you once you file chapter 7 or 11, or whatever. Of course if you open a new line of credit AFTER you file, then yeah, 'cause you cant file bankruptcy again for 7 years I believe it is. (But what idiot, would wind up back in bankruptcy so quickly ? filing is such a nightmare now, it makes you want to manage your spending much more carefully)

Yes. Even though the vehicle was repoed, they could take you to court for the remaining balance, or what they didn't recover through resale of the vehicle. You would be notified that you are being sued, and have the opportunity to go to court in your defense. If the court finds in favor of the lender (which they generally do), you could have your wages garnished. That may be the point where you have to decide if bankruptcy may be right for you. Bankruptcy would stop those proceedings and keep your wages from being garnished.

Since a 'garnishment' of wages is a legal method for repayment of a legitimate debt it is EXTREMELY doubtful you would get any of it back. Is there some info missing from the question that would clarify WHY this might even be considered ?Because OP can actually be reimbursed for garnished wages collected during the 90 days prior to filing, provided the amount garnished was over $600 during that time. Plenty of case law to back that up. It's really something OP needs to discuss with the trustee.
