No, a judgment against you does not automatically lead to wage garnishment. After a judgment is entered, the creditor must typically take additional legal steps to obtain a garnishment order, which may involve filing for a writ of garnishment in court. Additionally, certain exemptions and limits on garnishment may apply, depending on local laws and the debtor's financial situation.

If you have a judgment against you what does this mean and what can the company that has the judgment against you do to you?
A judgment is a court order that is awarded when a lawsuit is won by a plaintiff. The judgment can be executed in several ways pursuant to the laws of the state where it was awarded. Some of them are, garnishment of wages, levy of bank account(s), liens against real property, seizure and sale of nonexempt assets belonging to the defendant. Macky...(macky83@juno.com)
What does a credit card judgment mean?
The creditor has won a lawsuit judgment against the debtor(s) and can execute the judgment against any nonexempt property belonging to the debtor(s). The preferred method of judgment execution is wage garnishment followed by bank account levy, or seizure and sale of nonexempt property or a lien against real property. North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas do not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt. The exception is Texas where the court can grant wage garnishment if the debtor has no other property for which the judgment can be executed against. Married couples living in community property states are both usually responsible for debts incurred during the marriage regardless of which spouse is the account holder or borrower.
What does a judgment against you mean?
A judgment against you means that a court has ruled in favor of the plaintiff in a legal case, determining that you owe a debt or are liable for damages. This decision can lead to various consequences, such as wage garnishment, bank account levies, or liens against your property. Additionally, it can negatively impact your credit score and make it harder to secure loans or credit in the future.
What does it mean if there is a judgment on your credit report?
It means you owe them money. This is a very negative listing and should be paid in full or you should make payment arrangements. Even if you only pay $25.00 a month. By not paying, you are distroying your credit! Good luck! A judgment is an action rendered by the court against a debtor(s). The creditor may already have placed a lien against any real property the debtor owns, without the debtor having been informed. Other means of collecting a judgment can be wage garnishment, bank account levy, and the liquidation of other assets. Before any of this can be enforced, due process has to have been followed. A debtor/consumer should NEVER ignore a summons from the court. If one does not show up either in person or by legal counsel, the debtor automatically defaults. The creditor can then begin judgment collection proceedures.
If your wage is already garnished can they garnish it again before the other one is paid?
Wage garnishment laws and procedures vary by state. Wage garnishment is usually not a one time thing. A wage garnishment order will usually last a specified time or until the judgment is paid in full, whichever comes first. Unless the garnishment is for child support or spousal support, the most they can garnish is 25% of your net pay and you can only have one garnishment going on at a time. A little further information, wage garnishment for creditor debt is not allowed in North Carolina, Texas or Pennsylvania. It is not strictly prohibited by the laws of Florida and South Carolina, however the requirements make it very difficult for a creditor to garnish the wages of the head of household. Wage garnishments cannot run concurrently, this does not mean that it is not possible for a different creditor to levy the debtor's bank account or take other action if they have a valid judgment.

What does 'Answer of Garnishee' mean in the state of Iowa. My record shows this as the last action taken in a case with a creditor that attained a judgment against me. The action was in Oct. 2011?
In Iowa, an "Answer of Garnishee" refers to the response filed by a third party (the garnishee) who has been ordered to withhold funds or property from a debtor to satisfy a creditor's judgment. This document typically indicates whether the garnishee holds any assets belonging to the debtor and outlines the amount that can be garnished. If your case has this notation from October 2011, it likely means that a garnishee responded to a garnishment action related to the judgment against you at that time.
