The last thing you need is for one creditor to take up to 25% of your salary if the recent economic slump has made it more difficult for you to make your regular bill payments. Knowing that one debt is being paid off does little good if it keeps you from making mortgage or car loan payments for the vehicle you use to commute to work every day. Wage garnishment might also harm your working relationship with your company. You risk losing your employment if a separate garnishment order already applies to your wages. You can prevent income garnishment before it occurs with Robert A. Siegel's assistance at ZSTS in Glen Burnie.
