Texas wage garnishment for a debt from California?
I currently live in Texas, just moved here from Ca a few months ago. There is a garnishment on my pay stub that has shown up for the first time. I know that I owe a credit card from back in 2004 when I lived in CA but I was not notified at all that this would be taken from my pay. The credit card is the only thing I believe would be doing this. I don’t owe child support/IRS/ or student loans. Does anyone know the laws about this? Also I’ve been told that Texas does not permit wage garnishment for credit card debt, is this true?
Your payroll office should be able to tell you who is garnishing your check. As far as I can see, there is not an exception to credit card debt in Texas. http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/state-garnishment-laws-5.html#44
