Answer:
Your wages cannot be garnished for a payday loan in Maryland. Maryland has outlawed payday loans. They are unenforceable. The lenders will threaten you with garnishment, but they are powerless. They are simply trying to scare you into paying them. A legitimate collector would have to sue you in court for a judgement to get a garnishment. No collector can garnish your wages without a court order. You would know you had a court date because you would receive a summons to appear in court for your defense. Contact the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation and they will initiate an investigation into the payday lender/collector that is hassling you.
