Thank you. I'm afraid that my defaulted student loan will cause my wages to be garnished. How can I avoid this.
One way you can avoid garnishment is to make a request for a hearing.
I lost my job last year and have just stared a new job 2 months ago. Will my wages still be garnished?
This is definitely something that you should bring up at the hearing. Since you have been employed for less than 12 months after having previously been involuntarily separated from your employment, it may be ruled that your wages cannot be garnished at this time.
