Stop Garnishment in Georgia
When your employer is served with a garnishment, it is extremely important that you take action as soon as you can. If you do nothing, the creditor is going to garnish up to 25 percent of your disposable wages. If your employer messes up the garnishment, they can be held liable to the creditor for the entire amount of the debt. How happy is your employer going to be with you if they end up having to pay a large lump sum to the creditor? When you file a Chapter 13, it not only protects you from collection, but it also protects your employer from messing up a garnishment as long as the bankruptcy filing is communicated to the creditor.
