How to Stop a Garnishment of Wages?
A garnishment of wages is used by creditors, usually as a last resort, to obtain payment for a debt. A garnishment order is issued by the court and generally follows a judgment.
When a debt is not paid by a creditor such as a credit card provider, the debt is usually sold to a collection agency. If the collection agency isn’t able to collect, a lawsuit is filed and can result in a judgment to have wages and property garnished in order to pay off the debt.
A garnishment of wages not only takes a chunk of money directly from the debtor’s paycheck, it can also be an embarrassing matter as the garnishment is forwarded directly to the human resources department of the employer. There are a couple ways you can avoid this embarrassment.
Do Not Ignore the Debt
Sometimes when funds are low and you don’t have the money to make your scheduled payment, it may seem easier and less stressful to ignore it. The problem with avoiding debt is that it will only make things worse. Do not wait until the creditor threatens legal action, and if you do receive a summons or any type of legal notice, call the creditor or attorney immediately.
Set Up a Payment Plan
You will find that many creditors, collection agencies, and law offices that are hired to collect debts, will set up a reasonable payment plan. Figure out an amount that you can pay each month and if possible set up an automatic debit from your bank account. Make sure that you stick to the payment plan and if you foresee problems, contact the creditor and notify them of the problem.
You May Be Exempt from Garnishment
Certain instances render a person exempt from wage garnishment. First of all, the creditor has to allow you enough money to live on. If your primary income is through Social Security or Veteran’s payments, federal law prohibits garnishment of these funds. The creditor cannot garnish a bank account for instance that is funded by Social Security payments.
Contact an Attorney
An attorney may be able to assist you in stopping a garnishment of wages, whether by helping set up a settlement plan with the creditor or notifying the creditor of any exemptions to garnishment that you may qualify for.
The most important part of stopping wage garnishment however is to be active in taking care of the situation. The sooner you attempt to take care of the debt, the less likely you will have to deal with judgments and having a chunk of money taken from your bank account or paycheck.

What states can garnish wages?
According to the North Carolina Department of Labor: North Carolina courts cannot garnish wages for credit card debt. However, if a court from another state issues a garnishment order for credit card debt, North Carolina employers must enforce the out of state garnishment order.
Here is the exact text:
Under North Carolina law, an employer may be ordered to withhold wages from an employee and pay them to a creditor for the following types of debts: taxes, student loans, child support, alimony, and payment of ambulance services in certain North Carolina counties. However, the courts of North Carolina are not permitted to order an employer to withhold wages for other types of debts such as car loans, credit card debt, and other personal debt items. While the North Carolina courts are not permitted to garnish wages based on these debts, creditors in other states may be able to get an order of garnishment under their own states' laws. It is not a violation of the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act for an employer to withhold an employee's wages if required to do so by law. If a court from another state issues a valid order under that state's laws requiring an employer to withhold a North Carolina employee's wages for payment of a debt, the employer does not violate the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act by obeying that order.
