In the U.S., a garnished student loan happens when a borrower becomes Default on the outstanding loans which causes a collection company to garnish the wages of the borrower. Garnishment is when an employer deducts money from an employee's paycheck and sends it to a collection company. Garnishment of Federal Student Loans has a cap of 25%.


One online company that helps default borrowers get a garnishment lifted is Default Management Services, Inc. You can Google the company for the phone #.
