I filed and received my case number for Chapter 13 on September 29th,2026. Garnishment on my paycheck has not stopped and I’ll have a total of $1455 missing from my paychecks for the month of October.
I ALSO have a bank account that hasn’t had a release sent after my filing and I was told that it would be sent last Thursday by the law firm that represented the bank. That account has $1700 in it.
I am beyond frustrated that I’m missing $3100. What can be done? Do I have any legal recourse? I’ve emailed my case worker at the attorney’s office but she’s not very responsive. I’ve included the documents from ADP showing the garnishments that should have stopped.
Tomorrow, I am going to call Payroll again. But I’m sure they’ll say what they did last time, “we need a release from the law firm.”
My first trustee payment of $990 (and a payment fee of 4.99) is due 10/22. My mortgage is late after the 15th and my attorney’s office doesn’t seem to have any sense of urgency.
