Best Answer

Pennsylvania only allows the garnishment of wages by a creditor when the creditor has no other means of executing the judgment writ (bank account levy, seizure of non exempt personal property or liens against real property). One other exception is if the debtor is emmployed by a company that is not based in the State of Pennsylvania.

Can a person on a fixed income wages be garnished?

A person on fixed income wages can be garnished. The reason I know is because my friends father got his wages garnished because he borrowed to much money on his chase card. Her father has to pay back 35,000: that includes intrest. My advice is to not get a credit card and if you get a credit card, only use it for emergencies only because you do not want your wages garnished when you already have a fixed income.
