Oklahoma City Bankruptcy Attorney Edward Kelley explains how in both chapter seven and chapter 13, there are some pretty extraordinary measures you can take to help yourself that you may not know about - more specifically , the automatic stay. This applies in any bankruptcy. Federal law prohibits upon the filing of bankruptcy of any collection activity by any creditor. Where this comes up all the time in a chapter seven is garnishment. The chapter seven upon filing generates a document called Notice of Bankruptcy Filing. Get that to your payroll person immediately, and that's the end of it. They cannot garnish you anymore.
