Hi, Kara from GA here. We were forced to file bankruptcy after a garnishment hit us from a parking ticket my husband got a decade ago in a work vehicle. It was from Kansas City MO and the lawyer they hired hit us with garnishment, which nobody has reached out to us before filing the judgment, and they want 50% or our income. We are already drowning in this horrendous economy. We are 50 years old. Lost all our savings during covid while laid off for 13 mths. Didn't get unemployment until after we were back to work. OH was very messed up during covid. My husband has always made good money. But the economy has hitbhia company and we've lost $1,000 every two weeks because of that. Then the garnishment, then day after we got the garnishment, we got a letter from IRS stating we owed $5K from 2012!!! What? That's $10K between garnishment and IRS. In order to emergency stop garnishment we had to file chapter 13. What now? What are the best steps to start rebuilding our credit?
