NY state debt collection laws, can creditors garnish pension and social security disability income

1 views 2 answers
my husband was paying a debt collection lawyer for an old credit card debt a few years ago when he took ill and was forced to retire..he now collects his NY state pension and social security disability, got a letter the other day that within 5 days a judgement will be taken out against him if its not paid i full i was wondering if they can attach a levy freeze or get ahold of his direct deposit pension or social security checks

New York CPLR 5205 exempts for garnishment, social security benefits and the pension. If payments are not made and judgment is entered, the judgment-creditor will have to look elsewhere to satisfy the judgment.
