Each statement may be different and often the security is the real poperty. Consider talking to a real estate attorney for your options.

That would be an illegal garnishment of wages/salary, thus subject to a court order; not a bosses whim or any such contractual obligation. I can not believe the ignorance of some of the answers to this question. It would be a null and void contract, if you signed any such document, so you may wish to contact the proper state/municipal authorities.

Chapter 13 is no picnic either. They will garnish your wages and leave you pratically nothing to live on. Do you have a relative or friend that can buy the house from you for awhile until you can get back on your feet? Or perhaps even selling it outright would be better than losing it. How much equity do you have in the home? Mortgage lenders will refinance up to 65% of the home's value to bail you out of foreclosure. If that isn't enough, perhaps you have access to a retirement fund (401k, IRA, etc) and you can bring some out of pocket.

normally no. they usually dont garnish your wages. Hardly any debts are garnishable if you are the head of household except if you owe the IRS they will garnish your wages for debts owed. Its a good idea though to attempt to pay your debts even if it means paying less than is owed until you pay them out.

Yeah, these people are right.  If the money has been paid to family court already, it will stay on your account and go towards any future balance.\n\nIf they garnished your income tax check, though, you will receive a refund.  It may take several weeks.  But not if it is part of a regular paycheck garnishment.

Contact them immediately and set up an arrangement to pay them or borrow from friends or family to pay them back.  They can garnish your wages.  When they do, it will be on their terms.

Yes, if you have bills that are not paid, and they go to court and win a judgement, the court can allow an garnishment of your pay check, and an attachment of any money you have in any bank accounts.

Below is a link to the Florida Garnishment Laws.  Since you were not real specific on what you need, this is the whole think.  ;)

I don't know Georgia law specifically, but most states require you to file a nonresident return if you have income-producing real estate in that state.

Yes, The property is used as collateral for the loan contract that you have with the lender. The lender can foreclose on the property to recoup there money that you owe in arrears.

Yes, they can.\n\nThere are no state laws. Instead, wage garnishing is regulated by a federal law, The Fair Debt Collection Act.\n\nThis act requires that debt collectors treat you fairly and prohibits certain methods of debt collection. Personal, family, and household debts are covered under the Act. This includes money owed for the purchase of an automobile, for medical care, or for credit cards and other charge accounts.\n\nClick here to read the act and find out your right:http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.htm\n\nGood luck!

With Texas' homestead exemption, they can't touch your house.  The exemption also covers one car per person, so if you're married, both cars are covered.\n\nWages are also exempt from garnishment, except in the case of child support.\n\nIncome that is not a wage can be garnished or ordered turned over to a receiver.\n\nBank accounts, rents and royalties can be garnished.\n\nExemptions include social security benefits.\n\nWARNING For individuals living in Texas who are paid from an out of state location, there is case law (Baumgardner vs. Sou Pacific 177 S.W. 2d 317) to support taking a judgment from Texas, domesticating the judgment in the foreign state, then filing the wage garnishment there. Many creditors have used this strategy successfully.\n\nWhat they can do is put the unpaid debt on your credit report which will lower your credit rating and make life a bit harder since these days, everyone looks at your credit rating, for example prospective employers, insurance companies (even for your car insurance rates), and banks and other creditors (for loans), and landlords (to help determine how reliably you will pay their rent/lease payments every month).\n\nThey can turn the debt over to a collection agency that within certain legal parameters can call and hound you often, making life a real hassle.  You can get rid of the collection agency by formally (in legaleze) telling them to quit calling but one way or another, the creditor can become a real hassle.\n\nSeems like if you hold out long enough, they could change their mind after a while and settle with you for a smaller amount.  You also might consider talking to someone higher up in the chain who might be a bit more agreeable.  I would also suggest you get a book on negotiation techniques.  One is to start out a lot lower than $5,300, then work your way up. Your first offer should always be at least double the distance between the initial debt and where you want to end up (no matter how outrageous) so you both can compromise to the middle.  And don't give in too easily otherwise they will probably regret their decision to compromise at the level they did and change their minds or try to pull a fast one on you in one way or another afterward.

How much are we talking here?  He can't get anything from your wife but he can get a lien on your house if  you have one, garnish your wages too.

I have heard of no such law, and would be very surprised if one exists.  On the othr hand, a civil creditor never has the right to garnish someone's wages (wages can generally only be garnished for child support or student loans).

Be careful.  I don't think that you can garnish a subcontractor's wages, since he is not an employee. If you do, the subcontractor may be able to sue the company for the contractual compensation for his work.\n\nSeek advice from an attorney (in-house or other).

Whether a creditor can or cannot garnish your wages is governed by the laws in your state.  Each state has enacted laws setting forth which property is protected from creditors and which property can be seized by creditors.  A few states do not allow any wage garnishment whatsoever, but even those states that do regulate how much can be garnished from a person's wages in order to allow that person to have something left over to live on, although most people have a hard time living on what is left over after their wages are garnished.  There is also federal legislation regulating wage garnishments.  Your particular state might follow the federal guidelines.\n\nNote that wage garnishment laws do not usually apply when you owe money to the state or federal government.  Therefore, even if you live in a state that prohibits wage garnishments, such as Texas, you can have your wages garnished to repay a student loan or child support. In fact, almost all states vigorously pursue money owed to them or to pay child support.\n\nCredit card companies, hospitals, debt collectors and others will also seek a wage garnishment to recover debt provided that it is legal for them to do so in the state where the debtor resides and the debt is sufficient enough to warrant a wage garnishment.

If you told Friend of the Court you are employed and where, they will take care of the rest.  You might want to mention to your employer that your wages will be getting garnished and you are aware of it.
