Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah

My mother's employer was served with a a Writ of Continuing Garnishment for a credit card debt that she has not paid and is not able to pay. They are garnishing her wages and in the Writ it states that "The Writ of Continuing Garnishment is effective for 120 calendar days after the date on which it was served on you or 120 calendar days after the expiration of an earlier writ, whichever is later. Then later in the document it goes through all of her earnings and does the worksheet to figure the 25% that they are taking from her pay to pay the writ. My question is this... does this mean that they can only take the money from her paycheck for 120 days? And if so what happens to the remainder of the debt after the 120 days because the amount that they are taking will not be enough to satisfy the entire debt? Or are they allowed to remove the 25% from her pay until the debt is paid in full?

They will continue to renew garnishments. Has your mother considered bankruptcy?

She may call for a free consultation.
