If you receive a notice of a wage garnishment order, you might be able to protect or exempt some or all of your wages by filing an exemption claim with the court. You can also stop most garnishments by filing for bankruptcy. Your state's exemption laws determine the amount of income you'll be able to keep.
If you are facing wage garnishment, consider negotiating with your creditor, making payments on time, disputing errors, or seeking credit counseling. By taking these steps, you can improve your financial situation and protect your credit score.
Although wage garnishments don't appear directly on your credit reports, that doesn't mean they're invisible to lenders.
At a minimum, your written objection to the garnishment should include the following information: the case number and case caption (ex: "XYZ Bank vs. John Doe") the date of your objection. your name and current contact information. the reasons (or "grounds") for your objection, and. your signature.
