Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland

A Credit Card Company got a judgment against LLC that I own. I work in another company. They sent a request to that company to garnish my wage. Can they do that without suing me personally?

Generally NO. If the judgment is in the name of the LLC only, a creditor can only garnish assets belonging to the judgment debtor, that is the LLC.

Note however if the credit card was personally guaranteed the owner may be personally responsible (and most of the time credit is not issued to a new LLC without the owner personally guaranteeing it).
