Can a credit card garnish your state income tax check?

In: Law & Legal Issues, Credit and Debit Cards, Taxes and Tax Preparation, Debt Collection, Income Taxes, Credit [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, certainly. Anyone can garnish any asset you have, as long as they have a court order to do so. That's what protection from search or seizure without due process of the law is all about. In this case, due process would involve you being served notice that the case was going before a court (giving you the chance to tell your side of the story), and the judge either will, or will not give the order to garnish. One thing for sure, if you don't appear, you lost.
