Can wages be garnished for student loan if child support is being garnished as well in Texas?
Yes, wages can be garnished for defaulted Federal student loans in all states.
There are only 2 ways to get out of default on your Federally Guaranteed student loans.
- Contact your collection company or student loan servicer and request to enter the rehabilitation program. Most people qualify, but I have seen some refused when the default is over 10 years old. In the rehabilitation program, you will need to make 9-12 on-time payments in addition to your garnishment. After the 9-12 on-time payments, they should stop the garnishment, but you will stay in a default status until your Rehabed loans are sold to a new lender. In the past, that was an easy process, but in these turbulent financial times, other lenders are not buying rehabed loans. So, with this option your loans will stay in a Default status for the forseeable future.
- The second way you can get out of default and have your garnishment lifted is to consolidate your loans. These days very few Federal lenders will consolidate defaulted loans and your lender will probably not release the loan for consolidation while in a garnishment stage. The good news is, there are a few companies out there that will help you get a garnishment lifted and find a Federal lender to consolidate the loans.

A single creditor garnishment can usually be allowed to run consecutively with a child support garnishment with the child support monies being given priority.
Can you still file bankruptcy even though a creditor has started the process of garnishing you?
Yes you can. No matter what stage the lawsuit is in, the act of filing bankruptcy stops all proceedings against you to collect money. Even if you are currently being garnished you can stop it. Generally unless the deduction is for child support, almost everything being garnished from your check is stopped. Even garnishments for student loans and taxes. Will those be discharged? That's a whole other question.
