Today’s guests are Rebecca Martin, Trustee in Bankruptcy and Consumer Proposal Administrator at Hoyes, Michalos & Associates Inc. and our co-founder, Ted Michalos. We talk about one of the biggest reasons people contact a Bankruptcy Trustee in a panic - they've received notice from a creditor or their employer that their wages are being garnished. Today's podcast explains everything you need to know about wage garnishments and what you can do about it.
Rebecca explains what a wage garnishment is, how it works, and who it effects. To round out the discussion, Ted offers solutions for dealing with a wage garnishment if it happens to you. His biggest piece of advice: be proactive and take control of your financial situation. Don't let a wage garnishment be the straw that breaks the camel's back; make a plan to deal with debt before it gets that far.
