Statutes of Limitations to Garnish Wages
Anonymous2 views3 answers
Hi. A collection agency won a judgment by default against me in 2008 (I would have contested it except my daughter was in intensive care and I didn't receive any notification of a hearing) for a credit card debt. How long do they have after the judgment to submit for a garnishment? The total judgment is $1200 and I just started working again.

They can serve a writ of garnishment on your employer within a very short time after the judgment. Unless you did not receive a normal paycheck immediately after the judgment, the creditor generally starts garnishing your wages right after the judgment. If you have still not been garnished after almost five years your probably won't have to worry. They might renew the judgment and if they remember to renew, then they will most likely attempt to garnish wages once more.

In Arizona, the judgment is valid for 5 years. The judgment can, however, be renewed by filing a judgment renewal affidavit. If a judgment renewal affidavit is filed, the judgment will be valid for another 5 years.
Please contact my office if you would like to set up a free consultation.

There isn't one. Garnishments can be filed up until the judgment expires.
