Have these garnishments pushed you to filing bankruptcy?

How Our Bankruptcy Law Firm Can Help You Recover Money Garnished by Collection Agencies
Our bankruptcy law firm in Omaha has had great success in obtaining a reimbursement of garnished funds from collection agencies for our clients. In bankruptcy, similarly-situated creditors are all to be treated the same by the person filing bankruptcy. If one creditor has received payments, pursuant to a wage or bank garnishment, or both, in the ninety days prior to filing the bankruptcy, and those payments total $600 or more, the collection agency can be forced to give back those monies. As long as the person filing bankruptcy has sufficient Nebraska bankruptcy exemptions to shield, or protect, those garnishment monies, the lawyers in the Steffens Law Office can, and will, recover those funds from the collection agency and put the money back in the client’s wallet.
