Employers can be forced by a wage garnishment order to send up to 50% of your wages to your creditors. A garnishment order can also be made against your bank account.

During our initial meeting, they took the time to understand my debt and financial circumstances. They explained the various options available to me and helped create a personalized plan that would be most beneficial for my situation.
