- Q. My husband has just started getting his wages garnished. Do we have any options
- A: Probably. But it depends on a lot of information that a bankruptcy attorney would need to know. Some example questions:
What notice did you receive of the lawsuit from which he is being garnished?
If nothing then you can file paper to get before the judge and explain why you did not know about the lawsuit. If the case is opened then you would have a chance to negotiate with the creditor. If not opened then a bankruptcy is probably your best choice.
A bankruptcy rarely costs "thousands of dollars". But that depends on information that is not known.
Here are some of the questions that have to be answered before anyone can tell you what it might cost.

- Q. A lawyer took over my medical bill collection from 2007. Can they keep garnishing my tax return after 10 years?
- A: Yes. Debts can be renewed every 10 years. I always advise MI clients to not file MI tax returns if they are getting a refund since the state doesn’t care if there is no filing if there is a refund due.
Not sure what you mean about “they”sending you paperwork after filing. After what filling and what court.
- Q. Should a joint credit card still be reporting to Experian after a discharged Chapter 7 if only 1 person filed?
- A: A discharged credit card will be reported as discharged by bankruptcy. The joint person who did not file will continue to show the credit report as before.
