How do you dispute garnishment in Michigan?
Unless you voluntarily agreed to a garnishment clause in whatever payment contract you signed, garnishment can only be done by means of court action (unless we're talking about the IRS here). In the case of court ordered garnishment you can file an appeal to the garnishment order with the court which issued it.
Can creditor keep overpayment of garnishment?
No, in fact it gives rise to a cause of action (in the same case that caused the garnishment) for fraud; or fraud of a fiduciary (depending on how the garnishment is handled).
What if you received a writ of garnishment and the Social Security number on the paper is not yours?
The garnishment order is not valid and the employer can refuse to withhold wages until the order is amended and re-executed. The employer may decide to honor the writ in which case the garnishee would need to file a motion to have the garnishment order quashed in the court where it was issued.
Is there a wage garnishment dispute letter template available?
I understand that you can file a "Motion to Quash" if there is a good and valid reason such as a false affidavit which was the basis for the garnishment. Additionally, you can ask for a hearing on the matter. Although the format can be daunting, generally, if you have all the correct information in the motion, you know, case number and name of case, the court will accept it.
Wage garnishment laws in Pennsylvania?
The state does not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt. It does, however, allow garnishment action for child support and federal and/or state tax arrearages. In some instances it will also allow garnishment for spousal maintenance which is often determined by the circumstances the case being addressed.
How is the money divided when you have more than one garnishment?
Creditor garnishments must run consecutively they cannot be concurrent. That being the case, the first creditor that executes the garnishment order is paid until the debt is settled. Then the second garnishment (if any will begin). Please note, child support and sometimes spousal maintenance is NOT considered a "true garnishment of wages". Likewise garnishment for federal and/or state taxes are not applicable as such. For example, a child support garnishment can be active at the same time as a creditor judgment garnishment. The percentage of garnishment amounts is determined by the laws of the state in which the garnishee resides.
Can wages be garnished by more than one judgment creditor at the same time in Oklahoma?
No, wage garnishment by a judgment creditor must run consecutively not concurrently. Garnishment/automatic deduction of court ordered child support is not considered a 'true garnishment', that being the case a child support deduction and creditor garnishment can be active at the same time.

Is double garnishment from the same employer legal or can it be stopped?
Wage garnishments by creditors must run consecutively not concurrently. The first creditor to execute a judgment as a wage garnishment has priority until the debt is repaid or satisfied. If there are multiple garnishment orders they will be executed according to the writ of judgment status. This does not pertain to a garnishment for child support and sometimes spousal maintenance (alimony) those are separate issues. If such is the case a creditor garnishment can be enforced concurrently (at the same time), with the child support taking priority.
