Legal Answers
- Q. Can they garnish my federal refund for an 8-year-old car repossession?
- A: No to Federal Refund. There is also no reason to file MI state taxes if you are going to get a refund. They is no penalty unless you owe and file late.
- Q. How can I stop my tax refund garnishment from a car repossession?
- A: First thing. I assume these are Michigan refunds. If so stop filing. The state doesn’t care if you file when you expect a refund.
Why are you reluctant to file bankruptcy?
- Q. My husband has just started getting his wages garnished. Do we have any options
- A: Probably. But it depends on a lot of information that a bankruptcy attorney would need to know. Some example questions:
What notice did you receive of the lawsuit from which he is being garnished?
If nothing then you can file paper to get before the judge and explain why you did not know about the lawsuit. If the case is opened then you would have a chance to negotiate with the creditor. If not opened then a bankruptcy is probably your best choice.
A bankruptcy rarely costs "thousands of dollars". But that depends on information that is not known.
Here are some of the questions that have to be answered before anyone can tell you what it might cost.
