Re: Debt Collection
If there is a judgment against you, the judgment creditor and his agents can collect by any means that the court will permit. If you have a hardship, you can apply to the court for relief. If you have an agreement to pay a certain amount and your wages have been garnished, they I don't think that you are breaching your agreement to deduct the amount of the garnished wages.
