Re: Wage Garnishment

First of all, you should be very careful of these types of companies because they are known to be very dangerous.

Second, I do not understand how you cannot make a full payment. I thought that the whole point was that they take your paycheck...

Assuming you just owe a regular debt, they will have to file a lawsuit to enforce the debt and ultimately, yes the Court can allow them to garnish your wages.

I recommend talking to a credit management company to help you negotiate a payment plan.
