Wage garnishment can tip the scales, turning a tough financial situation into an impossible one. If money was already tight, the added strain of a smaller paycheck may be the breaking point. Unmanageable debt can affect the lives of individuals and can cause challenges that only continue to increase in severity as time passes. Individuals in Kentucky who face garnishment and wish to know more about how to protect their financial futures may find it helpful to seek insight into the protection provided through bankruptcy.
What is Garnishment?
If you have accounts that have fallen behind, your creditors may take action to recover losses. They can do this by getting a garnishment started. First a creditor must file a suit and obtain a court order to get the process started. Secondly, they may proceed to file the paperwork to begin the garnishment.

When you receive the notification of an impending lawsuit the following are a few of your options…
- Reaching out to the creditors and trying to set up an arrangement through negotiations.
- Prepare a strong defense and challenge the decision to garnish wages.
