If you are struggling financially and are unable to pay your bills, creditors can work to get a court order from a judge that allows them to take money directly from your paycheck. Wages can be garnished to cover unpaid child support, taxes, car loans and other debts.
Wage Garnishment and Bankruptcy
If you are struggling to pay bills and want to avoid wage garnishment, or if your wages are being garnished and you want to put a stop to it, an experienced bankruptcy attorney can help. At Franklin E. Miner, Law Offices, we assist people living in and around Lincoln, Beatrice, Waverly and Seward, Nebraska, by assisting with the bankruptcy process. When you file for bankruptcy it triggers an automatic stay that prohibits your creditors from taking collection actions against you or your property and will put a stop to wage garnishments. To speak with an attorney, contact the firm online or by calling 866-930-8786.
To determine whether or not you qualify for bankruptcy, we will meet with you to review your finances. We will also determine what type of bankruptcy would be best for you and explore other options that might exist. If you choose to move forward with the bankruptcy process, we will prepare a bankruptcy schedule and help you file electronically the next time we meet.
