Wages cannot simply be garnished by an individual, they can only be garnished with the approval of a judge by court order.
Yes it could
can my disabilty be garnished for past due phone bill can my disabilty be garnished for past due phone bill
Wages should not be garnished prior to a court order. You should be able to argue before a judge that you do not owe a bill because a man did not complete the work. You are not bound to pay him until he finishes the job. If he did not fix your car, he should not garnish your wages for refusing to fix it.
Only after receiving a judgement.
It is very unlikely that one will go to jail on a past due jewelry bill. You may have your wages garnished if you go without paying the bill for too long of a time.
No, just leave the bill and run...
It is unclear what is meant by "GI Bill" but a military retirement pension or disability award can be garnished for child support.
can a bill collector check to see if I'm being garnished and if I am, can they garnish me to or do they have to wait until the first one is finished?
Well there are a variety of things that happens when you don't pay a credit card bill. Your interest goes sky high, and your balance will become huge, they cut you off, your reported to the credit agency/ bureau and collections agency. Yes they can garnish your wages if that is an option for them. You can go to court, there may be jail depending on circumstances. In the end your credit will be ruined. The only circumstance that would bring "Jail" into the equation is if you stole the credit card, or some other form of identity theft. There is NO debtor's prison in the United States!

That's going to depend on where you live. I live in Missouri, and about 5 years ago I was making easy 40k a year doing medical collections.
