Three white lines of a powdered substance, which Nige said on Facebook is cocaine are in front of him on a table. âHey baby, miss you, thinking about you,â he says to the camera. He says he is about to go into a meeting and is âdoing this before I go,â and then snorts a line of the substance.
When you owe a debt, creditors will use any means necessary to recover payment. This includes garnishing your paycheck and tax refunds. Before a creditor can garnish your wages, he must petition the courts for a judgment against you. Even if the creditor has a judgment, there are limitations on what he can and can not do. These limitations are designed to protect the debtor.
If you default on a credit card, the credit card company will typically sell the debt to a collection agency. If you are unable to pay the collection (settle the debt for less), the collection agency may try to sue you, file a judgment against you, or possibly garnish your wages in order to collect the debt. Again, they can only garnish your wages if itâs legal in your state. To be sure, check with your state attorney generalâs office to find out if wage garnishment is legal in your state.
