Do my creditors have a right to garnish my wages in Sackville, Nova Scotia?
If you do not pay your debts, your creditors do have a right to garnish your wages. To do so, they must obtain a wage garnishment form from the court.
How much will be garnished from my wages?
For the most part, the amount is determined by the court. It is also up to the court to decide whether your wages will be garnished at all.
Can I try to convince my creditors to drop the garnishment?
Technically you can, but it is not recommended. Since creditors garnish the wages of those who they do not think will ever pay, they are not likely to believe you if you have a history of poor money management.
How can I stop wage garnishment?
There are three main ways to stop wage garnishment, but they may not be easy. If possible, you could repay the debt you owe, you could file a consumer proposal, or you could file for bankruptcy.
If you are concerned that your wages will be garnished in the near future, or if your wages are already being garnished, please contact us immediately. By contacting a licensed bankruptcy trustee in Sackville, you will receive the advice you need to make the right choices.
