Yes, your payroll check can be garnished by two or more creditors at the same time. However, there are legal limits on the total amount that can be garnished from your wages, often capped at 25% of your disposable income. Each creditor can request a portion of this amount, but the total deductions must still comply with these limits. It's essential to understand your rights and consult a financial advisor or attorney if you face multiple garnishments.
