Creditors use garnishment to collect debts they are owed. Garnishment is a post-judgment remedy, but most who are garnished are unaware of the judgment, the initial case, or simply ignored the case and assumed it went away. It is not until wages get garnished that people truly feel the impact.
There are different ways to handle a wage garnishment. For example, some may qualify for an exemption, if timely filed, others may be able to negotiate a settlement for a payoff amount or a lessor garnishment percentage, and, in other circumstances the statute of limitations may have run.
