Can your wages be garnished by Federal and Private student loan lenders if you're a US citizen living outside the US?
Yes, if you are a US citizen and your employer complies with the order of the court. If your wages are paid by a US corporation, they are subject to following the order of the court. In the case of a foreign employer, they may, or may not, choose to carry out the court's order. So-called 'private' lender student loans are guaranteed by the government - so if you default on a 'private' loan the government just reimburses them, and you will wind up owing that debt to the government anyway. Consider this however, obligations to the government never expire. There are no statutes of limitation on debts owed to the government and they'll get you now, or they'll get you later.

What is Georgia's laws on credit card garnishments?
It's your wages that get garnished...not the credit card. Even then, garnishment would normally occur only after many other steps have been taken to collect the debt...and certain legal process done. (Understand too, the cost of any and all actions that are needed to be taken to collect the debt will become your obligation to pay too). A few states in the US restrict garnished wages to a few types of debts. Specifically, North and South Carolina, Texas and Pennsylvania allow garnished wages only for federal or state tax debts, child support, defaulted student loans that are federally guaranteed, or for compensatory damages decided by a court during a criminal or civil law suit. The exceptions though, not the rule.
During student loan wage garnishment does the loan get out of default?
In the US, the answer is usually not. A wage garnishment by itself will never get you out of default. To get out of a Default status, you must either consolidate your Federal loans or enter into a Rehabilitation program. The rehab program involves 9-12 on time payments, but these payments are separate from garnished wages. Consolidation is the easiest way out. Most lenders these days do not offer consolidation, but one company can help you get consolidated by a Federal lender, they are defaultms.com
