While wage garnishment in PA is limited to child support, rent arrears, student loans, and taxes, you should definitely explore a fresh start in bankruptcy. First, it will protect your assets now and in the future. Second, it will actually help you repair your credit as future lenders will see a better debt to income ratio and your debt will be eliminated.
