Best Answer

YES, in most cases.

I have never heard of anyone having wages garnished to pay for a car loan (of course, I live in Texas, a debtor state, so it may differ elsewhere). Most places will just repo the vehicle.

If your wages are garnished for a car loan but the car hasn't been repossessed can you keep the car?

That's the point. They want the money, not the car, so they garnished your wages to pay that loan. Keep it, drive it, enjoy it. If you want to sell that car, any money would FIRST go to pay that loan and you could keep any cash left over.

Can wages be garnished for the balance of car loan if the vehicle was turned in for repossession in Maryland?

Yes. Even though the vehicle was repoed, they could take you to court for the remaining balance, or what they didn't recover through resale of the vehicle. You would be notified that you are being sued, and have the opportunity to go to court in your defense. If the court finds in favor of the lender (which they generally do), you could have your wages garnished. That may be the point where you have to decide if bankruptcy may be right for you. Bankruptcy would stop those proceedings and keep your wages from being garnished.


Can my wages be garnished to pay the balance of my auto loan after my car has been reposesed?

That depends on if the lender uptained a judgment againt you. They would have sought a judgment if the value of the car exceeded the balance of the loan at the time it was reposesed. Some peole are stupid enough to intentionally make their car worthless if it's going to be reposesed. The differanc between the value of the auto and the loan is what the lender will go after.
