How did it happen? A wage garnishment or attachment of your wages, bank account, or other property by a creditor (other than by the IRS or other government action or your own bank) usually only happens one way. A creditor sued you in Court and a Court decided that you owe the money. If you were sued, the paperwork should have been delivered to your home. However, many times creditor will say they don’t know where you live and can persuade the Court to give you notice of the lawsuit by publishing the notice in an obscure legal newspaper. If you don’t file paperwork with the court quickly opposing this lawsuit, whether or not you have actually heard about the lawsuit, the Court signs an order called a "judgment" that lets the creditor garnish your pay check

Why did it happen?

A creditor could have filed a lawsuit against you for any number of reasons. It could have been due to a credit card debt, a medical bill, a vehicle that was repossessed. It could be from an old payday loan, a loan that you co-signed, or even a loan against property that was foreclosed on or sold through a short sale. You could have been sued over a car accident, a slip and fall in your home, a dog bite, or for any number of other reasons..

The law provides three different ways to stop a wage garnishment

1. Pay the debt off, either in cash or by getting the creditor to agree to payment terms.
   
   
2. Go to the Court that granted the garnishment order and ask them to undo the Court Order. Even if you have a good reason to make this request, using this this process will be time consuming and expensive. Most Courts will not grant this request unless you give them a very good reason and are able to prove your reason.
   
   
3. File Bankruptcy to end the garnishment.
