Wage garnishment can be done one of two ways. These include:

Wage garnished to pay judgments: Creditors might take away from your paycheck to pay a judgment you owe. The creditor would have to file documents with the court in order to ask your employer to pay them to satisfy your debt.
Administrative wage garnishments: In cases of spousal/child support, back taxes, and student loans, a creditor may be able to garnish your wages without obtaining a judgment.

Our Wage Garnishment Defense Attorney Can Help

We have a well-established wage garnishment lawyer who understands Arkansas laws and knows how to give our clients the best outcome. When the amount owed has already been paid, or the wrong amount is being withdrawn, then it’s crucial to gather all the necessary evidence to stop it or recalculate it. Individuals whose employers threaten to fire them over the wage garnishment should take immediate legal action. It’s illegal to fire someone because they’re getting their wages garnished, and our attorney can help you dispute that.

If the amount being taken is too difficult to manage, it’s important to seek a negotiated amount with the creditor. This isn’t always easy and oftentimes requires the legal acumen and persistence of a wage garnishment defense attorney to make these agreements happen. Usually, a creditor is allowed to remove 25 percent of your earnings or whatever amount of your weekly earnings is over 30 times the minimum wage. However, with the help of a wage garnishment lawyer, you have a better chance of setting up a more manageable repayment plan or filing bankruptcy to STOP the garnishment.

Overall, the benefits of a bankruptcy can simplify the monthly payments by setting up a plan with the Trustee in a Chapter 13. In a Chapter 7 the entire debt can be discharged. When you are discharged from your bankruptcy, you will get FREE access to a course that teaches how to improve your credit score up to 720 (usually within 12-24 months). Setting up a free initial consultation with Mr. Crawley will allow him to go over all of your options with you.

Debt Consolidation Through Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

When you file bankruptcy, you restructure and discharge your debts. It lasts a minimum of 3 years and a maximum of 5-7 years. During this time clients make monthly payments to the Chapter 13 Trustee. Your creditors cannot take any action against you during this time – including lawsuits, wage garnishments, and foreclosures.
