Garnishment actions have to be released, once a bankruptcy is filed, in accordance with the provisions of a section of the Federal bankruptcy laws known as the "automatic stay". This provision of the bankruptcy laws goes into effect when a bankruptcy case is filed and it serves to prevent creditors from continuing to make collection attempts. The automatic stay is one of the major benefits associated with filing a bankruptcy case and it is this provision that will release a bank garnishment.
