Can my wages be garnished for a payday loan?

In order for the creditor to garnish your wages, the creditor must obtain a judgment from a court against you.  If the creditor has a judgment against you, it has the right to garnish your wages in some states.  You should speak with a local consumer rights attorney to discuss your matter, and determine if your state allows garnishment of wages.
