Can a collection agency garnish your wages on a debt that is 11 years old?
2loveannabelle
All US states have a statute of limitations concerning the collection of debts. The longest SOL is 6 years, that being the case it is unlikely that the court would allow a creditor or collector to file suit in an eleven year old case. Be advised, it is the responsibility of the debtor to use an expired SOL as a defense when faced with a lawsuit. Wages cannot be garnished without a valid judgment having been awarded by the court.

What if you never pay your credit card balances?
If you fail to pay your credit history and score will be trashed. If you owe enough and fail to pay the creditors may take you to court and sue to garnish your wages.
