Protect Your Paycheck by Filing for Bankruptcy
When you are struggling to pay your bills, having your wages garnished does nothing but compound the problem. Wage garnishment happens when one of your creditors obtains a judgment from the court permitting the seizure of a portion of your wages to repay a debt. Under Arizona law, creditors can take up to 25 percent of your wages to repay debts like credit cards and loans.
Losing 25 percent of your wages not only makes it more difficult to repay your other bills, it also jeopardizes your ability to pay the rent and put food on the table. If your wages are currently being garnished or if you have been notified that a creditor has obtained a judgment against you, don't feel like you have no option but to give up 25 percent of your wages. By filing for bankruptcy, you can put an end to wage garnishments altogether.
