Will Bankruptcy Stop Creditor Harassment?

**Admin** Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:18 am

Filing for personal bankruptcy under Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 will stop creditor harassment and will generally stop wage garnishments, depending on the reason for wage garnishment. For example, if your wage is garnished because you have to pay child support or criminal restitution, that wage garnishment will continue. However, if your wage is being garnished to pay an unsecured debt, like a credit card, the wage garnishment will cease.
