In some cases, yes. When creditors sue the debtor and receive a judgment order from the court they can implement it as a wage garnishment against pensions that are not protected by state and/or federal law.

All SS benefits/pensions are 100% exempt from creditor attachment. In most instances military and government pensions (railroad retirement, USPS, etc.) are also exempt. However, private pensions can be garnished to some extent depending upon the laws of the state in which the debtor resides.

Can credit card companies garnish wages in California?

Yes, credit card companies can garnish wages in California, but they must first obtain a court judgment against the debtor. Once a judgment is secured, they can seek a wage garnishment order, which allows them to deduct a portion of the debtor's wages directly from their paycheck. However, California law limits the amount that can be garnished to 25% of disposable earnings or the amount by which weekly earnings exceed 40 times the state minimum wage, whichever is less.
