Garnishment requires a judgment. Midland Credit Management cannot garnish your wages while the lawsuit is active. They must first obtain a court judgment — either through a default or through a ruling after the case proceeds. Only then can they apply for a wage garnishment order.
Federal limits on garnishment. Federal law limits wage garnishment to 25 percent of your disposable earnings or the amount by which your weekly disposable earnings exceed 30 times the federal minimum wage — whichever is less. Many states provide additional protections.
Certain income is generally exempt. Social Security benefits, disability payments, and unemployment compensation are generally protected from garnishment under federal law. State law may provide additional exemptions. The specifics of what is exempt in your state are worth confirming with a local legal resource.
The best protection is preventing the judgment. Responding to the lawsuit and requiring Midland Credit Management to prove their documentation is the most effective way to prevent that outcome. The Midland Credit Management Defense Toolkit gives you the foundational knowledge to understand what they must prove.
