It's Not Too Late To File Bankruptcy Just Because Judgments Have Been Entered Against You
I have found that some of
my clients with debt problems have the common misconception that once a
judgment is entered against them they cannot seek relief with a bankruptcy
filing. They unfortunately suffer through wage garnishments and bank executions
without realizing that the filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy will stay all
judgments and all related collection attempts by the judgment creditor.
Furthermore, once the Chapter 7 discharge is entered these judgments are voided
and debtors are free from future creditor collection efforts. I take great
satisfaction in providing my bankruptcy clients with the serenity that they no
longer have to be fearful that their wages will be garnished or their bank
accounts cleaned out. There is no reason to lose hope just because judgments
have been entered against you. Bankruptcy does still offer the relief you need
to obtain a fresh start.
