How can you stop wage garnishments? If a creditor or lender is trying to collect money from your paycheck, the attorneys at the TK Law Firm can help manage this serious financial situation.
Garnishment is typically a strategy “of last resort” for creditors, when they cannot collect money by other means. Debtors often watch in horror as their paychecks shrink (by as much as 25%) and/or as creditors freeze their bank accounts.
If someone or some institution has taken steps to garnish your wages as a means of satisfying a debt, the TK Law Firm can step in and protect you through various legal options. Depending upon your situation, actions to stop wage garnishments may include Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, debt settlement or filing an exemption to the judgment.

Our Florida Wage Garnishments Attorneys Can Intervene and Make Your Life Easier
If a creditor concludes that he cannot collect from you through normal means, he can ask the court to issue a judgment compelling your employer to withhold money to repay the obligation.
Property and assets may also be seized and sold to pay a money judgment. Florida law requires creditors to give you lead time regarding both wage garnishments and credit related lawsuits.
But if you have been letting bills stack up on the coffee table – in a desperate hope that the situation will somehow "resolve on its own" – you may have been blindsided by the garnishment. Even if you weren’t, you probably feel embarrassment, fear, anxiety, and guilt.
Bankruptcy to Stop Orlando Wage Garnishments?
Bankruptcy may be an option, but it is not always the right solution. The TK Law Firm can help you in all matters of Florida debt settlement. When you contact us, we will explain your options and help you sort through them.
Depending on your situation, we can help you renegotiate the debt or even directly fight the creditor in court to void the debt. Often a debt may not be valid, may be the wrong amount, may be barred by statute, or may be defended under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) or the Florida Fair Deb Collection Practices Act (FFDCPA).
In other cases, filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy may make sense. Even just preparing to file can often inspire creditors to suddenly want to negotiate with you (because they would prefer to get something, rather than nothing).
Unfortunately, not all types of wage garnishments can be ended, even with bankruptcy. For instance, if you owe money for child or spousal support, back taxes to the IRS, or student loans, you must manage these debts with different strategic tools.
