debt
Can a credit card company, bank, or collection agency attach my wages in the state of maine? I thought only the federal goverment could for tax debt and the state could for tax debt and or child support. I have always been told this, but reading by your website it
sounded as if a collection agency in Maine could garnish my wages
Do you have the answer?

Re: debt
If any creditor obtains a Judgment against you that is not satisfied, that creditor can bring another legal proceeding and ask the Judge to order a payment plan, which, if not followed, could lead to an Order by the Court to attach wages. Therefore, possible garnishment is not limited to the government.
