Can a collection agency garnish my pay?

(Jason from California) Can a collection agency garnish my pay?

Jason, a collection agency that owns your debt account may pursue a garnishment only if the statute of limitations has not expired, AND if they win a judgment. Pursuing a garnishment can be expensive, so many collectors do not pursue it. However, take any summons for court seriously so that you may defend your actions. There are different laws pertaining to garnishment, so check the laws in your state to see how they pertain to you.
