I received an email a couple of day ago from someone who was being garnisheed and wanted to know what he could do. In his email he told me that a credit card company took him to court and now his wages have been garnisheed 20%. He wanted to know what he could do about this. There are only 3 ways to stop a garnishment
- pay the debt in full,
- file bankruptcy, or
- file a consumer proposal.
Once he files a bankruptcy or consumer proposal we will send a “stay of proceedings”to his employer. This lets his employer know that the bankruptcy or consumer proposal has been filed and the garnishment is no longer in force. However, any money already sent to the creditor will not be returned.
If you are being garnisheed and want to know if bankruptcy or a consumer proposal is the right option for you, call me at 310-PLAN , 519-351-2323 or email me.
