Bankruptcy can Stop Wage Garnishment
Wage garnishment in California is a shocking and traumatic event.
All of a sudden, 25% of your income is attached and you never see it
(up to 50% in some custody claim cases). And it all starts when a
creditor has filed a Earnings Withholding Order to collect on a debt.
Suddenly, someone who was just barely getting by, treading water,
is now missing one-fourth of their take-home pay.
There are a couple of things someone who has had their wages
garnished can do. One of them is to file a Claim of Exemption
form. This is not an easy way to go, and you'll probably want
an attorney to assist you. The standard is fairly high, but
from time to time, these allow you to decrease the amount they withhold.
One other thing you can do is hire a San Diego attorney to file
bankruptcy on your behalf. Immediately, the creditor whose debt is
being paid by the wage garnishment will be put on notice and have to
stop this attempt to collect on a debt. You can file bankruptcy,
Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop the wage garnishment in California.

Encinitas
Encinitas is a coastal city in northern San Diego County, California. As of the 2000 census,
the city had a total population of 58,014. It is located about 40 km (25 mi) north of San Diego,
and about 150 km (95 mi) south of Los Angeles. The city was incorporated in 1986 from the
communities of historic Encinitas, new Encinitas (Village Park, etc.), Leucadia, Cardiff-by-the-Sea
and Olivenhain. These communities retain their identities, and their distinctive flavors. The
largest single industry is the growing of ornamental flowers, particularly poinsettias. The City is
governed by a five-member City Council, elected at-large to staggered four-year terms at two-year
intervals.
