FAQ
You can stop a garnishment in Minnesota by paying off the debt in full, renegotiating the debt with the creditor, orfiling bankruptcy. Filing bankruptcy stops wage garnishment through anautomatic stay. This is a court order requiring creditors or debt collectors to stop collection activity.
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.
A creditor that seeks to garnish your wages must first send you a ?Notice of Intent to Garnish Earnings? before your wages are garnished. If you do not object within ten days, your wages can be garnished.
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to request that you stop the wage garnishment that is currently being imposed on me. I am unable to make the payments at this time due to [insert reason, such as financial hardship]. I have attached documentation that supports my claim.
If the debt is still with the original lender or creditor and they've already won a wage garnishment court order, it may be difficult to negotiate a payment plan, but it's still worth asking. Call the creditor and explain your situation. Ask if there are options to get on a payment plan that you can afford.
Information in the Letter Other items in the letter are how often the deductions will occur, when they will begin and how long the deductions will last. You must also include who requested the garnishment, such as a state agency, court or business, as well as information on how the employee can stop the garnishments.
Upon being notified of a wage garnishment court order, an employer should immediately alert the employee to the situation in writing. Depending on the garnishment, there may be a form provided for this (i.e., Form 668 for a federal levy).
