Wage Garnishment and SSI
I have recently had some bad things happen. My child had an accident in a car I signed the loan onand I have no money other than my SSI so I had to have it fixed and voluntarily repossesed. The company is telling me they are going to garnish my income - can they garnish my SSI? I don't know what will happen if they do - i need it to live Sandra
