Wage garnishment objection question

Question

hey, my husband's wages have been garnished as of two paychecks ago for a credit card debt. we are in the middle of filing chapter 7 bankruptcy. We understand that once the paperwork goes through that all garnishments will stop. However, we are struggling with this garnishment. We wrote a statement to the court to stop or decrease the amount of the garnishment. We received a notice back today stating that we can file a motion hearing. We also got a paper back saying 'wage objection is being returned due to motion hearing' does this stop the garishment until the court date or will the garnishment continue until settled? I just want to know what to expect at my husband's next check. Thank you all for answering and understanding the situation.

Answer 1

credit card companies should not be able to garnish your wages unless you gave them persmission to do it or if it was court ordered... the more and more motions you file.. the more you are going to have to pay in the long run with court fees and lawyer fees.. you owe the debt so you should have to pay it... dont file chapter 7 as you will start off at the bottom of the hole and you have to change your habits or your are going to be in that same hole once it is over
