Laws in NH for Wage Assignment/Garnishment?

Wage assignments are strictly VOLUNTARY , and you can revoke them at any time. Because they are voluntary there are no laws for them. All you do is send a letter to ant company that may have your wage assignmnet and revoke it.
If you are talking about wage garnishment i will post the laws. But again, assignments are voluntary so just revoke it

New Hampshire Wage Garnishment

New Hampshire has a non-continuous wage attachment "on the books," in RSA 512. The process is seldom employed due to severe restrictions on its use, the cost, and the fact that many judges do not favor it and have discretion to disapprove it.

The lien applies only to wages earned post-judgment. Under New Hampshire procedural rules, seeking a garnishment would therefore require the filing of a new lawsuit each time such an attachment is sought. The attachment only applies to wages earned up to the date of service. In other words, there is no provision for an ongoing garnishment.

There is an exemption for earnings up to 50 times the minimum wage. New Hampshire does have a mechanism for establishing a court-supervised payment plan under RSA 524. This creates no lien against earnings, and is enforceable through contempt should the debtor default.

can you tell me what happens if you cant pay your payday loan if you live in Mass., but the loan is in NH?

In order for any one to garnish your salary they would need a court order. If your PDL is illegal they really can not get a court order If you signed a wage assignment you need to revoke it. It is strictly voluntary

The laws Kashzan posted are for wage garnishment. Wage assignments are a bit different, but they are still illegal in NH:


A wage assignment is other property that would secure the loan.

first of all i live in New Hampshire. I received a letter from a collection agency and The National Arbitration Forum. I demanded proof of the debt which the collection agency just sent to me. Can the NAF have my wages garnished in New Hampshire without me knowing?

a lawyer sent me a letter regarding child support and my employer - 10 days ago that he wants my wages garnished - my employer did it without asking me or without a court order - state: new hampshire - is this legal? There is no supporting documentation that I owe this money to my employer.

Child support is already court ordered....they dont have to do much to garnish you.
