Immediate Relief Through Bankruptcy
The moment you file for bankruptcy, you will be granted an automatic stay, ending wage garnishment.
Whether your wages are being garnished because of a civil judgment by a creditor or because of tax debt, filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 will stop the garnishment of your pay.
If you file for Chapter 7, we will advise you on taking full advantage of California's generous claim of exemption, allowing you to keep property like your home.
Other Protections Through Bankruptcy
In addition to ending wage garnishment, filing for bankruptcy can help save your home from foreclosure and put a swift end to creditor harassment.
