Will a Renton wage garnishment be stopped with a Washington State bankruptcy?
After a judgment is entered against you, up to 25% of your net wages can be garnished. Your bank accounts can be hit as well. A bankruptcy stops all garnishments immediately. This is one of the Bankruptcy Code's most powerful tools.
Even if you have to do a Chapter 13 repayment plan, paying back your creditors in a structured way is much more bearable than having all your creditors line up to garnish your wages one by one. After filing, you can often get the more recent garnishments back.
Having a bank account or wages garnished can be a crushing blow to someone in financial trouble. If you see no way out of your debt, you should contact one of our Renton, WA bankruptcy attorneys well before it gets to that point.
