That cannot be answered unless you consult the local legal code. There is a grace period before any action can be taken. That allows an appeal to be filed if it is available. The legal papers can be flied in a day or so after there the delay required has been satisfied.

If your car has been repossessed and now you ready to pay 50 dollars every month can bank still can take from your wages?

You should contact the bank ASAP. You will have to convince them that you WILL pay every month. That may not be easy after they had to repo the car. But TRY anyway. They have the option of collecting however they feel they wil get the most money. Its up to you to show them what that will be.

If that legal action was granted, they can and will take the amount granted by the judge from your wages regardless of your payment.


Can collection agencies garnish your wages?

Collection agencies cannot garnish wages or seize property. They can refer the deliquent account to a collection attorney who can file a lawsuit. The attorney must be licensed in the debtor's state and the lawsuit must be filed there. If the lawsuit is won, a writ of judgment can be issued. The writ can be executed in the form of wage garnishment, bank account levy and seizure of nonexempt property. There are collection firms such as Mann Bracken who are also collection attorneys, they handle accounts from large banks such as Bank One/Chase. MB has been authorized to act as an arbitration collector, which differs somewhat from traditional lawsuit action. ("Macky" macky83@juno.com)

If a credit card is past the statute of limitations can one still be garnished there are 3 credit reports it doesn't appear on 2 and the other 1 states satisfactory account?

Not if you go to court! They cannot garnish your wages without going to court to get a judgment. If you fail to show up in court and simply tell the court that the debt is outside the statute of limitations, then you may have a judgment against you. And yes they can garnish your wages if a judgment has already been awarded. So go to court if it goes that far and immediately ask that the case be dismissed based on the statute.

Can your income be garnished if you pay child support?

Not sure in what context you mean, but yes a court order can garnish your wages for child support. IF the custodial parent has filed a support order and paternity has been established then YES absolutely your wages can be garnished. If you mean that a creditor filed judgment against you and you are the one receiving child support, they cannot touch that money, but if you are getting those direct deposited and the creditor attaches the order to your bank account the child support can be taken indirectly that way. Good luck
