Raleigh Wage Garnishment Attorney

Facing wage garnishment?

Wage garnishment is a legal method in which debtors deduct money from an employee's monetary compensation, until the debt is paid off, or other arrangements have been made. In North Carolina, only certain kinds of debt are subject to potential wage garnishment, including debts for student loans, taxes, alimony, county ambulance services and child support. Other creditors in most cases do not have the legal right to garnish wages from North Carolina residents, including those for car loans, credit card debt and other kinds of personal debt. North Carolina law also exempts certain types of income from being garnished, including Social Security, pensions, insurance benefits and annuities, and public assistance, including unemployment compensation.

Filing bankruptcy is a very effective way to stop wage garnishment proceedings. One of the many benefits of bankruptcy is that it causes an automatic stay to go into effect immediately for the debtor, prohibiting all creditors from pursuing collection efforts, including wage garnishment. If you are facing wage garnishment, you are urged to immediately contact a Raleigh bankruptcy lawyer to protect your wages and get effective legal help for your case.
