Can Wages be garnished over a 1200.00 Credit Card Debt?

It is not going to happen. There is a process that these companies follow. They would first put it into collections, then sell it to a collection agency. That is way to low for even a collection agency to take you to court. The original creditor will just write it off. You have nothing to worry about unless you get a summons to go to court, which I gurantee that will not happen.
