Can a credit card company garnish wages in the state of Nevada?

Answer 1

Yes. Under Nevada law 75% of your weekly pay or (154.50) whichever is highest is exempt from atttachment by creditors. Depending on circumstances, this amount can be amended. But not to the extent of causing undue hardship upon the debtor and/or dependants. Bank accounts, certain pensions, real estate, and other assets can be attached by creditors to pay debt. Each state has specific exemptions for debtors to protect assets. In some cases you can choose either federal or state or a combination of both. These exemptions are the same whether used in BK or to satisfy a judgment awarded in a lawsuit.

Answer 2

Six years. That does not mean, if you have not received a summons before the six years has expired you are "off the hook" for the debt. If the suit is filed even the day before the SOL expires, you may not receive a court summons until two or ? years later. Sometimes it is possible to defend the suit by charging the creditor did not act in a timely manner, but that's usually a longshot at best.

Answer 3

Yes, Nevada laws pertaining to bank acccount levy and garnishment are rather liberal. Nevada allows th maximum garnishment of 25% of disposable wages with the first $154.50 weekly income being exempt. Garnishment amounts generally at the discretion of the judge as to exact percentage amounts. Bank levy can be executed though an account is held jointly. If it is a marital account because Nevada is a community property state, the entire amount is subject to seizure. The account can be levied only one time, further action will have to be filed again and granted by the court. If the account is held jointly by persons who are not married, the account will be "frozen" and the non-debtor account holder must submit proof to the amount of funds belonging them.

Answer 4

Yes, Nevada allows wage garnishment, but the creditor will have to sue in the appropriate Nevada court. An "abstract of judgment" can be filed in the county recorder's office in the state where the debtor resides. However, this type of judgment can only be used to place lien against real property belonging to the debtor.

Answer 5

Yes, if the company sues the debtor/borrower and wins a judgment, they can execute the judgment as a wage garnishment.
