Wage Garnishment

Posted on Monday, October 27, 2008

Question: Is there any way to find out if there is a court order for a wage garnishment before your employer actually receives the garnishment order?

Answer: There is no guarantee that you can find out about a wage garnishment before it starts. You could go to your local court and ask the clerk if there are any judgments registered against you, but if the court action was in a different court it may not show up. You could also do a credit check through Equifax to see if there are any registered legal items. Your final option is to simply talk to your payroll person at work and ask them to inform you immediately if they receive any garnishment papers.
