So- you stiffed them out of 5k and instead of making payments to correct the default, you come on message boards for advise on how to avoid them.
Hope you don't owe any school loans. After the debt collections improvement act, they can garnish SSI and SSDI for up to 25%. Sleep tight |

| Thank you all for this information! Now, that I understand that if a person gets disability the funds cant be touched. Though, can a judgement be put against the person. If so, how long does it follow you and how long does it stay on record. |

Social security benefits, pension payments, and other types of incomes of elderly and disabled people are exempted from garnishments. But any other money that is put into the account can be garnished. So I think to play safe, no other funds should be kept in the account.

Seven years, or life of the judgment (which can be renewed)--whichever is longer. The amount of time a judgment is valid will vary from state to state.

| If my social security check and my husbands social security check is the only money deposited into our checking account, can the bank account be garnished? |
