Re: garnish wages
If the company files suit and obtains a judgment against you, yes. However, the law limits the percentage of your wages it can take each month.

Re: garnish wages
absent a voluntary garnishment by your employer, the creditor at issue would need a judgment and a writ of execution to lawfully garnish a percentage of your wages. However, legal counsel could assist you with negotiations with this creditor at issue. For timely, affordable assistance here, contact us today for a free phone consultation.
