These steps apply directly to your situation as a Mesa resident dealing with Credit Corp Solutions.
Creditors must first obtain a court judgment, then apply for a garnishment order from the court, then serve your employer. Your employer is legally required to withhold wages and send them to the creditor. This is a multi-step legal process — if there's a judgment you didn't know about, you were likely served and ignored it.
Federal law limits garnishment to 25% of disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30x federal minimum wage, whichever is less. But many states have stronger protections: NC, PA, TX have virtually no garnishment for consumer debts. FL protects head-of-household wages entirely.
If the garnishment would cause you financial hardship, or if you qualify for an exemption (Social Security income, disability, certain retirement accounts), file a Claim of Exemption with the court that issued the order. Do this within the deadline (usually 10-30 days).
If you were never properly served with the lawsuit, you may be able to set aside the default judgment through a 'motion to vacate.' This undoes the judgment and gives you a chance to actually defend the case.
Offer the creditor a lump-sum settlement to release the garnishment. With a judgment already in place, creditors may accept 50-60% as a lump sum rather than waiting for months of garnishment. Get the release in writing.
