I'm worried about debt collectors. I've heard stories about them taking people's money. I want to know if they can actually take all my money if I owe them.

Debt collectors possess the authority to withdraw funds from your paycheck, bank account, or benefits through a process known as garnishment.

This action can only be taken after they have filed a lawsuit against you and a court has issued a judgment against you for the unpaid debt.

Garnishment allows debt collectors to legally claim a portion of your income or assets to satisfy the outstanding debt.

The law stipulates specific limitations on the amount of money that debt collectors can garnish from your wages and bank accounts.

These limitations are intended to protect individuals from financial hardship due to excessive garnishment.
