Garnishment? How long before they do it?
I have income and am paying, but how long do I have, before the cc companies may try garnishment?

They have to get a judgement first. Other than that, all I can say is 'it depends'.
DH had a judgement back in '00. It led to a garnishment in Aug. '05. But, he wasn't working for alot of that time-worked for my brother for cash, and was a SAHD for a while. He had been working since Feb. '04 though (had worked for this same company for a stretch from '01-02, and for a few months in '03 also.) My guess is this creditor has someone who periodically checks out the judgements to see if there is anything they can go after.Most of my information is from personal experience or HOURS and HOURS of online research.

Hubby holds the medical insurance and he was considered the responsible party. He is down on the kids doctors as the insured/repsonsible party too. They had us both down on the summons. I wish it would have been in just my name, I'm a stay at home mom.Originally posted by StaciMM
