Re: Can my check be garnished

Thanks for your posting.

Your wages can be garnished by anyone that has gone through the trouble of suing you and receiving a judgment.

Your other options include selling the car, negotiating with the lender to voluntarily repossess the car, bankruptcy, or fighting a lawsuit.

I hope this helps, but I do wish you best of luck.
