Indianapolis Lawyer Stopping Wage Garnishment…

By law, a creditor who obtains a judgment against you can garnish up to 25 percent of your income after any taxes and Social Security deductions have been taken out. That hurts.

Filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 or 13 can stop wage garnishments by unsecured creditors immediately. Our attorneys can help protect against wage garnishment. Contact us today.

At Redman Ludwig, P.C., wage garnishment is a very real problem for many of the people who walk through our doors seeking help. Over the last 30 years, our lawyers have helped the vast majority of these same people find solutions to the problem of wage garnishment.

While most wage garnishments can be stopped and creditor judgments discharged through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, some cannot. Wage garnishments that result from child support or criminal matters are in this category.

Tax debt is also treated differently. Unlike other creditors, the IRS is not limited to 25 percent of your net income and will often take anywhere from 30 to 70 percent instead. If you currently have an IRS payroll garnishment, waiting to talk to an experienced personal bankruptcy lawyer about it is not a good idea. In our experience, the IRS is not altogether unwilling to stop its wage garnishment and set up reasonable payment plans without a bankruptcy. In some cases, we may even be able to convince them to modify the tax debt itself and resolve the issues without bankruptcy.
