Stop Wage Garnishment
Pueblo and Colorado Springs Bankruptcy Attorney
- Have you been threatened with a lawsuit?
- Has a wage garnishment already been ordered against you?
- Are your employers asking why your wages are being garnished?
Creditors will seek the repayment of debt through any means possible. One avenue of resolution for them is to garnish your wages. This means that a court order is issued for money to be automatically taken from your paycheck to pay the creditor. Once a garnishment has been ordered, you may not be left with many options for addressing the situation.
At the law offices of John A. McLaughlin, Jr., P.C., we understand the stress and fear that debt and the resulting wage garnishment can cause. We are highly knowledgeable of wage garnishment issues. This knowledge allows us to effectively advise you of your rights and options. We understand that clients may be feeling embarrassed, as employers are informed of the garnishment in order for the wages to be taken. However, we can work to stop wage garnishment or prevent it from being ordered.
Take Control Before Your Wages Are Garnished
A garnishment does not just suddenly happen. Someone who owes money on a car loan, credit card debt or other debt is first notified that they are being sued by a creditor or multiple creditors. If you do nothing about the notification and subsequent lawsuit, ignoring it all, a default judgment will be entered against you. This allows the creditor to have your wages garnished in order to fulfill the debt.
If you have received a notice that a garnishment may be levied against you, take immediate action in order to prevent a default judgment and garnishment from being ordered. The earlier you become involved in seeking a solution to your problems, the better off you will be. Once you get in touch with us at the law offices of John A. McLaughlin Jr., P.C., we can work together to determine the best way in which to proceed. One course of action could be filing for bankruptcy protection to stop the collection actions against you. However, this is not always the best way to go for each client. We make determinations based upon each individual case.
