NO. If you are paying a little at a time they can not garnish wages.

The collection agency can not garnish your wages.The only agency that can do that is the Internal Revenue Service.

It is better to pay the account in full when settleing a debt it show's on you credit report that you took a settlement. 50.00 a month try that toward your outstanding balance and pay more if you can.
