Not for any of the debt included with your bankruptcy. If you should not be making any child support payments anymore then they should not be taking anything from your wages. I hope that helps! It is an awkward debt when included with bankruptcy as it sometimes appears that they are taking debt payments from your wages. They should send you an up to date statement of what you should be paying after your date of award. If they haven’t it might be worth giving them a phone and asking for that. |
