Stop Wage Garnishment & Debt Collector Harassment in Massachusetts
If creditors are taking part of your paycheck or blowing up your phone, it’s time to take control. We help people across Southeastern Massachusetts stop wage garnishment, fight back against harassment, and get on the road to better credit.
What Is Wage Garnishment?
When Creditors Take Money Straight From Your Paycheck
Wage garnishment happens after a creditor sues you, wins a judgment, and gets permission from the court to collect directly from your paycheck. You might not even know it’s happening until you see your paystub.
We can help:
- Stop garnishment through bankruptcy
- Prevent future garnishments
- Deal with court judgments before they get worse
- Possibly recover wrongfully garnished wages
The sooner we act, the more options you’ll have.
Debt Collector Harassment
They’re Not Allowed to Threaten You
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects you from abusive or deceptive collection tactics. That means no:
- Threats of arrest
- Calling your job after being told not to
- Calling late at night or before 8am
- Telling others about your debt
- Lying about what you owe
We can send official notices to stop the contact—and take legal action if they break the rules.

Common Questions
FAQs About Wage Garnishment, Credit & Collections
How much can they take from my paycheck?
In Massachusetts, creditors can take up to 15% of your disposable income—sometimes more if you owe taxes or child support.
Can I stop wage garnishment without filing bankruptcy?
Sometimes, through negotiation or hardship claims. But filing often provides the strongest protection.
Can I get garnished wages back?
Maybe. If we file your case soon after the garnishment, some or all may be recoverable.
Can I sue a debt collector for harassment?
Yes. If they violate the FDCPA, you may be entitled to compensation. We’ll review the behavior and advise you.
How long after bankruptcy can I rebuild my credit?
You can start immediately. Some clients qualify for car loans within months and see score increases within a year.
