Using Bankruptcy to Stop Wage Garnishment
If you are trying to stop wage garnishment, frozen bank accounts or harassing creditor phone calls, working with an experienced lawyer can help. It is important to work with a lawyer who is well-versed in the Fair Debt Collections Act. We understand the tactics collection companies can use to collect debt, including:
- Frozen bank accounts: Once a creditor gets a judgment against you, they can take steps to prevent you from disposing of property that could be used to pay back debt. Any recurring deposits - such a paycheck on direct deposit - can be retained.
- Property execution: Creditors can use execute on the property at the bank with your accounts. This forces the bank to surrender applicable money to pay the judgment.
- Collection calls: Once you begin working with a lawyer, all creditors must go through us. Because creditors will no longer contact you, this will stop their harassing calls.
We can help you regain financial freedom. Schedule your appointment by contacting us online or by calling 718-878-4789.
