Your Money May Disappear Without Notice
Collection agencies often threaten seizure of your assets through garnishment or repossession. The important point to remember is that those threats are empty without a judgment from the courts. If a court ruling is in place, however, your accounts and earnings are in danger of garnishment.
Often, families do not realize their bank accounts have been emptied by creditors until they start receiving insufficient funds notices and accumulating penalties and fees from overdrafts. For paychecks, the human resources manager in payroll likely received notice but may not have forewarned you of the deductions.
You Must Take Immediate Action
You can often recover all or most of the money you have lost through garnishment if you act quickly. The seizure of your bank funds usually occurs only once, but wages may be garnished multiple times. You can legally stop the garnishment in two ways: either paying off your debt or filing for personal bankruptcy.
If you file for bankruptcy in a timely manner and your bank is notified within 30 days of the garnishment, your funds may be returned. Additionally, seized wages greater than $600 can often be returned within 90 days of your filing for personal bankruptcy.
