Fighting To Stop Garnishments In Ohio And Kentucky
When you are facing overwhelming debt and are unable to make payments, your creditors can garnish your wages and bank accounts as a debt collection method. If you are already struggling with your finances, this can be devastating. However, by filing for bankruptcy, you may be able to protect yourself from certain types of garnishment.
My name is Patrick J. Conway. Over the last 29 years, I have helped clients find solutions to their garnishment problems. As a lawyer in Cincinnati, I work to help people get out from under crippling debt and set them on the path to a brighter financial future.
Looking Out for You
To garnish your wages and bank accounts, a creditor must sue you in court and obtain a judgment. Then the creditor can take up to 25 percent of your wages, and all the money in your bank accounts. Other than paying the creditor, the only way to stop this action is to file bankruptcy. The quicker you file, the better your chances are of retaining more of your money.
At Patrick J. Conway, Attorney at Law, I offer trusted advice about your options for stopping garnishments, including:
Filing either type of bankruptcy provides an automatic stay. This means most garnishments are immediately stopped, even if they have been occurring for some time.
Swift Action is Necessary
When a creditor obtains access to your bank account and makes a withdrawal, it is difficult, if not impossible, to get that money back. Your entire savings could be depleted in a short amount of time.
To prevent this from occurring, contact my office as quickly as possible. I will meet with you, explain your options and, in some cases, file your bankruptcy case within one week.
