Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: wage attatchment

1. File a Claim of Exemption. You can get the

forms at the office of the court clerk. Essentially,

you'll be asking a judge to reduce the amount taken

from your paycheck because you can't live on the

amount left to you now.

2. File bankruptcy. Unless the judgment against you

is one of the types that are not dischargeable, there

is a good chance you can make the whole judgment go

away.

3. Quit your job. The creditor might find your new job

and do another wage garnishment, but maybe not.

4. Pay the judgment.
