this is a rather odd question. how about you pay off the loans you agreed to pay? since that answer probably doesn't help, if they are garnishing your wages, the only way to avoid it is to be paid under the table. Administrative Wage Garnishment does not require a court order, Tina. The US Department of Education or a FFELP guarantor can garnish 25% of a borrower's disposable income for a defaulted federal student loan WITHOUT the hassle of getting a judgment. Therefore, your post about "writs", state law, etc is not relevant to garnishment in this topic. PS: The Higher Education Act, (P.L 102-164; 20 U.S.C. § 1095a) is the legal authority for AWG, and it supersedes all state laws limiting or controlling garnishment.
