A wage garnishment is a court order that requires your employer to withhold a certain amount of money from your paycheck and send it directly to a creditor to satisfy a debt. A wage garnishment can be a serious financial hardship, especially if you are already struggling to make ends meet. If you have been served with a wage garnishment, it is important to take action immediately to protect your income.
You have the right to appeal a wage garnishment. The process for filing an appeal will vary depending on the state in which you live, but there are some general steps that you can follow.
