Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia
I live in Ga. And my bring home pay is only 200 dollars per week because of a garnishment. My question is can I be garnished a second time? I keep reading about this calculator of 30 X min. Wage and that you can only be garnished by on collector at a time? I'm caught in. Deciding to file chap. 7 but I'm still trying to save up the money and if I'm garnished a second amount I will loose even more? Thanks for your advice

While the second creditor can't double your garnishment, prompt action on a Chapter 7 might get back some money that was already taken. In other words, you need to see a lawyer ASAP.
