If you make three consecutive payments on a defaulted car loan are you still considered in default?

Once a loan of any kind has defaulted, there is no changing it. If you mean that you missed one payment, this is not necessarily a defaulted account. Once the lender sells your debt or passes it to an agency to recover the amount owned, then things are different. In the UK a missed payment or late payment will show on a credit search for six years. This can be removed if the total amount of the loan has been paid and you write to the credit agency to ask them to remove the information. Do not pay someone to do this, it costs nothing!

How can wage garnishment for a student loan be stopped?

AnswerGenerally once the judgment has been executed as a garnishment it will run until the debt is paid. In many states a creditor must return to court every 60 or 90 days to renew the garnishment order.The necessity for renewal does not apply to wage garnishment for federally funded student loans.I know of one company that can get a garnishment lifted and restructure a defaulted student loan with a low manageable payment, the company is www.defaultms.com
