That is the entire purpose of having an estate. The estate needs to pay off the debts. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.

In Ohio what percentage of wages can be garnished and what exemptions are allowed for judgment action on a loan deficiency amount for a repossessed vehicle?

Ohio follows federal garnishment guidelines which allow a maximum of 25% of the garnishee's disposable income to be seized, with the first $154.50 weekly based income being exempted. Child support, alimony, disability benefits, public assistance, and all Social Security benefits are 100% exempt from garnishment by a judgment creditor. The judgment creditor must serve (or make a reasonable attempt to deliver) a 15 day notice to the named garnishee before the action can commence. Other personal and real property that can be exempted from judgment creditor attachment are outlined in Ohio BK exemption statutes. Please note, it is the responsibility of the judgment debtor to claim the allowed exemptions.

Can a credit card company garnish wages if living or working in Ohio?

No creditor can use forced collection action against a consumer w/o due process. Meaning the state statutes governing garnishment would have to be followed via the Ohio court system. Federal law protects a specific amount of wages 30 x minimum weekly wage ($154.50). A garnishment order is enforced against disposable (all deductions + any child support)income that is above the $154.50. That amount is garnishable by a maximum of 25% under Ohio state law. All wage garnishments can be appealed for reduction or dismissal.
