At present four U.S. states - North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas - do not allow wage garnishment at all except for debts related to taxes, child support, federally guaranteed student loans, and court-ordered fines or restitution for a crime the debtor committed. Normally the maximum is 25% of wages.

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.
