Upon the filing chapter 7 petition, an injunction is automatically put in place called the “automatic stay”. The automatic stay immediately stops all collection actions against the debtor or the debtor’s property. The stay arises by operation of law and requires no judicial action. As long as the stay is in effect, creditors may not initiate or continue lawsuits, wage garnishments, bank restrains or even telephone calls and debt collection letters demanding payment.
If you have questions or concerns about how to stop wage garnishments through bankruptcy, we urge you to contact The Law Offices of Robert J. Nahoum, P.C. today by calling 845-232-0202.
