If you are garnish and than released paid in full can they garnish you more for the same thing?

Once a debt has been paid in full, creditors cannot garnish your wages again for the same debt.

However, if there are multiple debts, creditors may still seek to garnish wages for any outstanding amounts owed. Always consult a legal professional for specific situations.
