You lost your job and in North Carolina is it legal for them to take wages when you do get a job for letting your car go back?

== == Regardless of your employment situation, you still OWE for the car after it is repoed. The lender can sell it, to get some money out of it, BUT if the sale brings less money that YOU owe, they can still go after the balance that YOU owe, by attaching a court order for some of YOUR wages until the debt is PAID OFF. The reason I used capital letters above is to underline that it is YOU who have to take responsibility for YOUR actions, such as signing for a car loan.

The North Carolina Wage and Hour Act (WHA) recognizes legal garnishment court orders in N.C.G.S. 95-25.8(1): "An employer may withhold or divert any portion of an employee's wages when: (1) The employer is required or empowered to do so by State or federal law, ..."

Which states do not garnish wages?
North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas. The exceptions to wage garnishment in these states are..taxes, child support, Federal student loans, court ordered fines or restitution for debt incurred by a criminal act. According to the North Carolina Department of Labor's website, North Carolina Courts cannot order garnishments for debts other than taxes, child support, and student loans. However, if a court outside of North Carolina orders a garnishment for wages based on a judgment for credit card debt, North Carolina employers must honor the garnishment. Under North Carolina law, an employer may be ordered to withhold wages from an employee and pay them to a creditor for the following types of debts: taxes, student loans, child support, alimony, and payment of ambulance services in certain North Carolina counties. However, the courts of North Carolina are not permitted to order an employer to withhold wages for other types of debts such as car loans, credit card debt, and other personal debt items. While the North Carolina courts are not permitted to garnish wages based on these debts, creditors in other states may be able to get an order of garnishment under their own states' laws. It is not a violation of the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act for an employer to withhold an employee's wages if required to do so by law. If a court from another state issues a valid order under that state's laws requiring an employer to withhold a North Carolina employee's wages for payment of a debt, the employer does not violate the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act by obeying that order.
