Legally, they can garnish her wages. BUT, before they are able to garnish wages, attach and levy property, etc., they need to file a lawsuit and obtain a judgment. If your niece wants representation in defending against or settling this debt once and for all, I would be more than happy to speak with her. 617-357-4898.

She can file bankruptcy which will wipe out the judgment and stop any wage garnishments.
