Served with a Wage Garnishment due to an unpaid debt?

If debt collection lawyers served you or your employer with a wage garnishment, act fast, because the longer you allow the wage garnishment to remain, the harder it will be to cancel the garnishment or negotiate a settlement of the debt in the future. The Courts have ruled that if you allow a garnishment to remain in place, it means you admit that you owe the debt and that the creditor – and even a debt buyer – is entitled to enforce its judgment against you.

How much time do you have to stop a wage garnishment?

After serving the Notice of Wage Garnishment, the NYC Marshal or Sheriff will wait only few weeks before requiring your employer to start deducting a portion of your paycheck every pay period until the judgment is paid in full. This gives you a brief opportunity to negotiate a settlement with the creditor or collection agency, or to file an Order to Show Cause in Court, asking the judge to cancel the garnishment and vacate the judgment.

Who pays the marshal’s fee for garnishment of wages?

Once your employer does begin deducting money from your paycheck, the Marshal or Sheriff begins charging you a fee for the garnishment. This fee gets added to the judgment amount and charged to you. The Marshal or Sheriff’s fee is called Poundage, and it is usually a few percent of the amounts garnished from your paycheck.

This means that in addition to paying the full judgment amount plus interest, you must now also pay the Marshal’s fee charged for the income execution, and you continue to incur more debt even while you are paying down the judgment.
