Wage Garnishment
Date: Fri, 08/24/2012 - 18:35
Back in 2009 I had an amount I owed to US Bank go to a collection agency called liberty acquisitions. The amount was only about 600.00 or so. Over time the interest built up to a total due of over $2,000.00. I began working fulltime and almost had this debt paid completely off. I sadly ended up loosing my job and was unable to find employment. The interest built back up again to over $2000.00. I am now working a fulltime once again and getting back on my feet and have since moved to a new state altogether. I am wondering if they can begin garnishing my wages? And if they can and do will I be notified before they do so in any way?

You will receive summons prior to being sued and you will receive notification prior to the commencement of wage garnishment. They cannot garnish without a court order. Although, if the collectors have no idea that you have moved, you will probably never receive any paperwork and find out from payroll that you are being garnished.
