You may need to file a bankruptcy to get a fresh start. Bankruptcy can help you to get rid of those old debts you can no longer afford to pay. Once you file a bankruptcy, your creditors will not be able to contact you or take or continue any collection action, like a garnishment. If you have the ability to pay off your debts, except your mortgage, in 3 to 5 years, you should do that.
However, if you are being garnished, you may want to file a bankruptcy and pay your creditors back under the protection of the bankruptcy court. You may not need to file a bankruptcy at this time. If you make less than $300 a week before any deductions, your creditors cannot garnish your wages. They can, however, garnish or seize any money that you have in a bank or credit union.
