BILL'S ANSWER

Garnishment is the withholding of your wages in response to a court order to repay a creditor. The short answer is that if you have two jobs a creditor can garnish your wages at both jobs. Ditto for three, and so on.

Similarly, if the creditor has a reason to believe your account has funds, it can attempt to levy your account again.

The US Dept. of Labor offers several resources explaining wage garnishment rules in general, and Title III, Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA), specifically.

To learn more about the rights of creditors and debtors in collections, see Collections Advice. To learn more about wage garnishment, see Garnishment on Unsecured Debt.

I wish you the best of luck. I hope that the information I have provided helps you Find. Learn. Save.

Best,

Bill
