Does filing bankruptcy stop garnishment of wages due to judgment on credit card debt?
Filing bankruptcy can stop a garnishment immediately. Ifall funds that have been garnished have been properly exempted, the garnished funds can even be returned to the debtor. When a bankruptcy is filed, a special provision of the bankruptcy code kicks in and stops all creditor action to collect a debt. The special provision of the bankruptcy code is Section 362 and is called "the Automatic Stay". The Automatic Stay is a court order to all creditors to stop collecting debts immediately. When a paycheck or bank account is garnished, money is taken from the paycheck or other account and held until a certain time when the money is supposed to be delivered to court and turned over to the creditor. The date that the creditor is supposed to pick up the garnished funds in court is often called "the return date". If a bankruptcy is filed before the return date set for the garnishment, the garnishment is immediately stopped and the creditor cannot continue to collect the debt through the garnishment method. However, understand that the debt the garnishment is paying isn't extinguished or reduced...it will be resolved in the BK. The above probably won't apply to child support or such...which rightfully gets no breaks.

You filed your bankruptcy and a couple of days later you received a garnishment letter can you get the garnished wages back?
To start with you would receive a copy of the Garnishment Summons from the court at your last known address. You would need to advise your attorney so they can "Quash" (no not squash) the garnishment. If at that time your employer has taken any funds from your pay and either sent them directly to the judgment creditor or to the court, the attorney would then request/demand the funds be returned to you- the judgment debtor. If the court receives a copy of the bankruptcy at any time prior to the return court date, they return the original payment to the employer who will then refund back to the employee.
