Wage Garnishment As a Creditor Remedy: Miami Debt Collection Attorney

Wage garnishment is a legal process that allows creditors to collect unpaid debts directly from a debtor’s paycheck. In Florida, after obtaining a court judgment, a creditor may seek a wage garnishment order to have a portion of the debtor’s wages withheld by their employer and paid toward the outstanding debt.

When Can Wage Garnishment Be Used?

• A creditor must have a valid, unpaid judgment against the debtor.
• The court must issue a writ of garnishment directed to the debtor’s employer.

Limits and Exemptions

Florida law places limits on the amount that can be garnished from a debtor’s wages and provides certain exemptions to protect debtors from undue hardship. These rules can be complex, and legal guidance is often necessary to maximize recovery while complying with all applicable laws.
