I filed for bankruptcy last week and my bankruptcy lawyer told me to not show up today (since I am filing bankruptcy). I just started the whole process of bankruptcy last Monday, so I don't have a case number yet. Since I didn't show up in court today, can the lawyers suing me garnish my wages right away, or does it take a couple weeks? I live in California and I know they take 25% of your wages. I am more concerned of when they will try to start garnishing my wages or freeze my account.

My lawyer's paralegal told me I should have a case number by this week, so I am just concerned that the credit card company suing me will take the money out right away. Do they have to send me a form asking for my current employment information, or do they just get it from the IRS? -
