My daughter’s wages are being garnished. What can she do?
A creditor has to have a judgment and a writ of garnishment order entered by a judge. Your daughter can file a motion to dissolve the writ if it was issued improperly and the plaintiff incorrectly obtained it against your daughter.
I recommend consulting with a local attorney for preparing it on her behalf. I recommend using Avvo.com to find a local consumer protection litigation attorney.
