Re: Wage Garnishment
There are several defenses to garnishment. A garnishment required a court order, so you must go into the court that issued the garnishment and fight it there.
Re: Wage Garnishment
The garnishee (your employer) is responsible for notifying you of the garnishment. You are responsible for objecting to the garnishment in court, and a court-approved payment plan would halt the garnishment.
