Quick Answers to Bankruptcy Questions & Understand How Bankruptcy Laws Affect You

What is the Maximum amount that can be garnished from wages due to a judgement from several creditors?

bankruptcy law

Unfortunately my business failed. I had numerous credit cards that were used to purchase business supplies, inventory, etc. When the economy fell, the business took a huge dip, leaving me with no way to pay for the monthly expenses to keep the business afloat. Not to mention, no way to purchase inventory to keep the business from failing further. I am in over my head and have considered bankruptcy but I have some circumstances that have caused me to have to delay the inevitable. In the mean time, creditors are threatening law suits etc. I have a family and this situation was an honest try to make a business work but obviously didn’t. Needless to say, I am worried about the amount that can be garnished as we are struggling already, living pay check to pay check. Can someone answer my question?

    It depends on what state you live in as to what can or can’t happen.
