S.C. does not have a code that directly forbids garnishment of wages. However, the law is applied in such a way that it makes garnishment almost impossible for the average person. The house is another issue, S.C. has very limited homestead protection, $5,000 (can be doubled for marrried couples). Even so creditors seldom use a forced sale of a primary residence due to the difficulty and expense. It would be wise to consult an attorney as to the exact application of the law. Most attorneys offer free or minimal fee consultations. (S.C. Codes.. Title 15 Civil Remedies and Procedures, Chapter 41m Sections 15-41-30.) www.scstatehouse.net

Can creditors garnish your wages or take your house in California?
Yes. California allows income garnishment by judgment creditors. The law also allows a judgment creditor to place a lien on real property owned by the judgment debtor. Generally the homestead exemption will protect a primary residence from a forced sale for debt owed. Judgment creditors rarely request a forced sale of a primary residence because it is a complicated and lengthy process and is seldom profitable enough for implementation.
