can a pay day loan company garnish your wages in the state of pa.

Hi patricia.x.purvis,

Welcome to this community :)

Pay day lending is prohibited in Pennsylvania. So, the PDL company won't be bale to sue you and thus won't be bale to garnish your wages. However, if they have information of your bank account they may withdraw money from your account. You should close down that account to avoid any such unauthorized withdrawals.

Moreover, as pay day lending is prohibited in your state, you are required to give back only the principal amount you had borrowed. If the company still harasses you report them to your State's Attorney General.

Thanks,

Aaron
