Q: Can I get my license back if they have started garnishing my wages?
A lawsuit was filed against me in 2008 in Sullivan county, Tn for a traffic accident in which I did not have insurance..my license was taken for non payment of lawsuit. Recently they renewed the lawsuit and have started garnishing my wages. The lawsuit is in the amount of 13,000. Can I get my license back now that they have started garnishing my wages or should I just file bankruptcy? I am a single parent and only make about 14,000 a year working full-time. Thank you.
A: There are really too many factors to consider to respond meaningfully to this. I am assuming from your note that a judgment has been entered and based upon this judgment your wages are being garnished. I would suggest you contact a bankruptcy attorney and walk through all of the facts.
