Need some legal advice. I am being sued by debt collectors in Texas for credit card and consumer debt. One of the debt collecting companies has already won judgement even though I responded to the hearing notice within time. I have lived in Texas all my life. I did my research online and found that a debt collecting company CANNOT garnish my wages for credit card debt in the state of Texas. I did further research and discovered that if the company you work for is in another state, and your paycheck comes from that state, then they can garnish your wages if that state allows wage garnishment for credit card debt. The company I work for is based out of Pennsylvania, and I researched their wage garnishment law. Pennsylvania also does not allow wage garnishment for credit card debt. I need to know if my research is correct. So my question is, is my wage totally safe from being garnished from these debt collecting companies??
