You can always pay the balance due. You may be able to enter into a payment agreement that will result in the dissolution of the garnishment, whether a lump sum settlement or a different payment schedule.

Will bankruptcy stop a wage garnishment for credit card debt?

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.


What happens if a creditor garnishes after filing bankruptcy?

I assume you mean after YOU filed bankruptcy (the creditor's filing bankruptcy doesn't affect your garnishment, except maybe to change who's "garnisheeing"--NOT "garnishing"--your wages). If so, contact your attorney so he/she can bring the creditor into court for violating the automatic stay.

What happens to the garnishments after you filed bankruptcy?

If they were ordered by the court (i.e.: child support - back taxes - etc) you must still honor them, bankruptcy will not do away with court ordered liens. . Liens placed by private persons or businesses will have to take their place in your long line of creditors. As soon as you file, you take the papers from the bankruptcy court showing that you filed to your employer and the garnishment will stop. There are some exceptions to this.


What effect does filing bankruptcy have on liens that have already been placed on property?

Whether or not a motion can be filed and will be granted for a lien to be removed after the bankruptcy has been filed depends upon individual circumstances. The expungement liens can be very complicated and it is best to have the action undertaken by a qualified bankruptcy attorney.
