Yes, your paycheck can be garnished without being notified. I was devastated when I received my paycheck and behold I had been garnished. (garnishment May 2010)

In the state of Georgia incur Deduction of 25% of my gross income. I had judicial lien from creditor (which I don't recall) since 2006. Also, shown on my credit report this account as being charged off in 2003.

In result of being garnished, it has cause an tremendous economic burden and hardship on me.

Best thing, I would suggest always check your credit report!

Can wages be garnished for the balance of car loan if the vehicle was turned in for repossession in Maryland?

Yes. Even though the vehicle was repoed, they could take you to court for the remaining balance, or what they didn't recover through resale of the vehicle. You would be notified that you are being sued, and have the opportunity to go to court in your defense. If the court finds in favor of the lender (which they generally do), you could have your wages garnished. That may be the point where you have to decide if bankruptcy may be right for you. Bankruptcy would stop those proceedings and keep your wages from being garnished.

Can I stop my wages from being garnished for a defaulted student loan The company that is garnishing by check says that the money that is being taken from my paycheck is only paying their fee, not any part of the loan. Is there any way that I can repay it?

You cannot get out from under a student loan. If you have the ability to pay back the loan do so as quickly as possible as your interest will rapidly increase the principle, especially if part of your garnishment is not covering it.

In New York state can your wages be garnished without being given notice of a court appearance?

No. Wages can never be garnished without providing an opportunity to the borrower (debtor) to explain their particular situation. If you have legal representation, they are obliged to let you know if you are being asked to appear in court. At that point, you and your attorney would decide if showing up for the hearing is the best choice of action.
