AnswerSouth Carolina only allows wage garnishment by a judgment creditor if the creditor has no other means of enforcing the judgment writ (bank account levy, seizure and sale of nonexempt property, lien against real property).

The above is wrong. The ONLY entity allowed to do a wage garnishment in SC is the State or the Feds for taxes or child support. NO civil judgments can be collected via garnishment OR bank levy.
