The amount of time during which a debtor&rsquo;s wages may be garnished may also be limited.&nbsp;</span></div> <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">It is important to remember that, in most cases, you must file a lawsuit and have a judicial judgment in order to garnish wages.&nbsp;Also, it may be difficult to garnish the wages of low income debtors, debtors who already have their wages garnished for child support, alimony, tax deficiencies or other creditor claims or debtors who are public employees.</span></div> Collections-Creditors Rights FAQs

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">That depends.&nbsp;You must participate in the bankruptcy proceedings and you may desire legal representation depending on the complexity of the case, the legal priority of your debt and the amount of money that is owed to you.&nbsp;The bankruptcy trustee who is assigned to the debtor&rsquo;s case will determine the priority of the debts.&nbsp;In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the trustee will distribute the eligible assets of the debtor to the creditors depending on who has a secured versus unsecured interest in the debtor&rsquo;s assets and who has a priority to payment.&nbsp;In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding, the trustee will help the parties develop a repayment plan.&nbsp;Any claims that are not part of the trustee&rsquo;s plan pursuant to Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 are likely to be dismissed and in most case the debtor will no longer have any legal obligation to repay the debts.</span></div> Collections-Creditors Rights FAQs Wed, 24 Jun

appropriately distribute a person&rsquo;s assets in accordance with a judicial judgment.&nbsp;If a receiver has been appointed for your debtor then it is the receiver who is responsible for making payments to you if those payments were included in the judicial judgment.&nbsp;Receivership is often a step taken by a business prior to filing for bankruptcy.</div> Collections-Creditors Rights FAQs
