I have a friend who is getting kicked out of his home because his wages are beening garnished from a old debt and his mother lives in SC which is a non-garnishment state.Now I know once he is in SC they cannot garnish no wages but the kicker is he put in a transfer to SC with the same company.Now the CA caught wind of him moving and has threaten to lock him up if he leaves the state!!!!They said they will call the Judge and have a warrant for his arrest!!!!He told me they did call the Judge office because he called the local court house.He has to move because he has 3 children and a wife (cannot work)plus there pay check is only $110 after wage garnishment a week!!!!!!So what can I tell him??His mother would love for him to live here and she has a nice place for them to stay.BUT he is worried about he is going agaist a court order.Our county has no Debt courts only Landlord rent problems courts and if it is a debt it has to be over $10000 before they even look at it.This is for a 4500 cc debt!!!!So here are there choices is to live on the street or move????

I am sorry to hear about your friend. But is there a way for him

I am sorry to hear about your friend. But is there a way for him to talk to the judge. Telling the judge his situation. I am sure that the judge wouldn't want his family living on the streets either. Does he rent right now? Because I don't think that a landlord can kick someone out just because of that, there has to be another reason why. Is there a way for his wife and kids to live in SC with his mom until this is taken care of? I really don't know what to tell you about this besides that really sucks. Could he possibly find a way to make arrangements with the CC company for when he does move? Because if he lives with his mom he will be saving money and could possibly give the company more money than now. I am sure someone else will be along with more advise. I wish your friend the best.

I'm not educated on garnishment-FinsFan is- but it doesn't seem

I'm not educated on garnishment-FinsFan is- but it doesn't seem right to me. You mean if you have a garnishment, you can not move until it is paid off?

Puddl is right, he needs to go to the court house and speak with the judge himself. When he goes, have him take a letter explaing the problem and why he needs to move and if it would be possible. If the judge isn't in, or busy, have him leave the letter, with his phone number. Maybe if the judge hears from him the reason, and not just what the creditor is saying, it will help. Also, he can offer to send payments, set up a plan, etc., since SC in non garnishment-just a thought. Someone with more experience will be along soon--Good Luck to your friend..KAren
