i receive va disability and social security disability.can creditors garnish these monies if i declare bankruptcy?

No, if you file for chapter 7 bankruptcy to discharge your debt your creditors will not be able to garnish your Social Security and VA disability money. When she receive your filing confirmation of your chapter 7 bankruptcy, after that point no further action may be taken against you. And after you receive your chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge, you will no longer be obligated to repay your creditors. I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where my firm is located. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
