Ohio Wage Garnishment
Are your wages being garnished? Or has one of your creditors obtained a default judgment against you? In today's economic climate, creditors are taking aggressive measures to collect debts. If your wages are being garnished, that means that your creditors have secured an order from the state that allows them to take your money directly from your paycheck or from your bank account.
Stop Wage Garnishment Through Bankruptcy
Both a Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing will stop wage and bank account garnishments. Garnishments can diminish your hard-earned income making it nearly impossible for you to afford basic necessities. Your bankruptcy filing will trigger an "automatic stay" that prohibits your creditors from taking any collection actions against you or your property.
You can often prevent your employer from finding out about your financial problems through wage garnishment if you file for bankruptcy when you receive the notice that your wages are going to be garnished.
