can debt collector garnish wage in pa credit cards

ok so they can not garnish my wages but I hear they can take from a savings or checking account for a period of 5 yrs. what if it is a joint account where one party isnt involved in the lawsuit? any idea?

Hey any of you guys know if I absolutely have to or should show up to court if a civil suit is filed against me for a credit card? And does it really matter the card is only $4,000.00 is it worth to do anything at all since you guys seem pretty certain they can't garnish my wages, I don't own anything else.

Thanks

you should show up,that way you can make payment arrangments you can afford.the judge should take into account your finaces,plus assets.don't no show.

Bottom line time here, Smack: Do you really want the judge to take their word for this? They could say whatever they like, true or not. If you're present, you get a say. Show up.

WULF...thanks, again, for the web info. VERY informative!! Din't know ALOT of that!! OMG!!
