IF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR WAGES GARNISHED, IS THERE A WAY TO STOP IT?

No one wants their wages garnished, which is when a portion of your paycheque is taken before you receive your pay. I am often asked if there is a way to stop wage garnishment, and there are a few options..

  • Quit your job. You cannot garnish a paycheque that doesn’t exist, however this is far from an ideal solution to solving financial issues
  • Alternatively you could get a loan and pay off the debt in it’s entirety
  • File a consumer proposal, in which your creditors agree to a payment plan for a lesser amount that you currently owe
  • Declare bankruptcy
