i have had some legal advice once from a company attourney that advised us to withhold anyway.

i believe it was something similar, garnishment awarded when the debt was created while the employee lived in arizona… running to texas after the fact shouldn’t mean anything

You can also sometimes get garnishments attached to your checking account where they take the money direct debit, rather than garnishing your wages, and dealing with that embarrassement

Your wage garnishment is attached to your social security number. Your old credit card company has you social security number(they would not have issued a credit card without it).
Contact your local Social Security Office and they should be able to tell you if you have an attachment to your wages for garnishment.
This could be a major help for you if you take a few steps.
1)Contact your old credit card company and see if they will work out a payment agreement with you. if they will,ask them to remove the garnishment from your wages.
2)Looking for new employment will not help your cause,try to stay employed where you are at.
The reason for number two is that most employers(espeecially the major ones can do a background check on you that includes you credit
history).
I hope i have helped you.

Comment on Wage Garnishment In California? by Kevin C

Don’t think so but the Plaintiff or their Atty does have to send u a notice of garnishment by law…..but usually most Atty’s do not want to follow the law themselves and send out the notice after it already hits or not at all and just say they did if they go to court. Most judges wont balk at a Defendant bringing this very issue up because they feel u owe the debt so no big deal. So basically the Attys and Judges break the law because they feel the end justifies the means…….as I say in court it is truly “do as I say but not as I do.”

A court judgment and garnishment order must be presented to the employer. You will see the garnishment on your pay stubs.

Comment on wage garnishment in the state of oklahoma? by Celeste

Oklahoma uses the federal guidelines for garnishment. Which is 25%of your disposable earnings (not gross), for that week, or the amount by which your disposable earnings for that week exceed thirty times the Federal minimum hourly wage, whichever is less. Disposable income is income after required deductions are made. Such as federal, state taxes, social security…etc.

25% of your gross income.

Gross is the money you get before taxes and insurance are taken out.

Net pay is what you end up with after all taxes and other deductions have been taken out.

In Oklahoma Federal guidelines apply. So they can take up to 25% of your Gross wages. The Gross consists of the amount after taxes but before any other deductions(such as insurance).

In order to garnish your wages they must first file a suit and get a judgment against you.

I think it means you will get take home pay of at least $571 per paycheck, but after that things are up for grabs by the IRS.

Are you sure the person is an employee and not a subcontractor? I used to manage Taxi drivers but they were all self employed. They technically paid me, not the other way around, so I was able to ignore wage garnishments. Are the 15 days up yet? if so, have you filed a complaint charging contempt of court? (through your local States Attorney or DA) I am not a lawyer, I am just brainstorming here.

If the work refuses to honor the court order, then you must go to the court and request a contempt ruling against the work.

It varies by state, family size, etc. Generally, they will take 50% after your rent, food, clothing, utilities, etc.

If you owe federal loan money that is being garnished you can look on the Dept of Ed’s website under the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) at http://www.nslds.ed.gov. They keep track of all the federal loans you took out. That is a good place to start.

Comment on IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A WAGE GARNISHMENT OFF IF YOU AGREE TO A PAYMENT PLAN? by Monte P

Monte P — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:49:31 +0000

As others have said, it’s possible, but highly unlikely.

The reason that you have a wage garnishment is most likely because you agreed to pay someone back money you owed them, and you didn’t. (I’m not being judgemental, and I don’t know the reason, I’m simply stating a fact).

So, they have a judgement and have initiated a garnishment. They are 90% guaranteed to receive your regular payments (the only way they won’t is if your paycheck doesn’t cover it, or you leave your job), so why would they go back to letting you pay them on your own?

Your better option is to start saving up cash until you have an amount equal to around 1/2 to 2/3 of the total balance due. Then, offer them a one time lump sum payment. They may be willing to take 50% of the balance as a one time payment in exchange for dropping the garnishment.

If you can get them to agree to this, make sure you get it in writing before you pay them anything. Then, contact your HR department, and explain to them what’s going on. Ask what they will need to promptly stop the garnishment.

If the creditor has already taken you to court and won a judgement, then they are free to garnish your wages at any time, payment plan or not.
If you have not been taken to court and there is no judgement, then no creditor has direct power to garnish wages directly.
If there is no judgement, but they have you sign a “consent judgement” form, then they could garnish wages if you are like one day late on payments.

Why would they accept a payment plan where you could skip out and not pay them when they already got a judgment and a wage garnishment that guarantees them their money because your employer sends it to them before you get the rest of your paycheck?

They will not go for such a deal.

Possible, but not likely.

A wage garnishment is about as good as it gets in the world of debt collection. A payment plan would be a step down.
