Yes, a collection agency can garnish your wages, but they must first obtain a court judgment against you. This typically involves the agency suing you for the debt and winning the case in court. Once they have a judgment, they can seek a court order to garnish a portion of your wages directly from your employer until the debt is paid off. However, there are legal limits on how much can be garnished based on your income and state laws.
