My daughter is in college and a credit card company is trying to garnish her wages. The only job she has is work study.

Under Georgia law they are allowed to garnish 25% of the gross earnings until the debt is paid in full. If your daughter is working and over the age of 18, they can garnish these wages. The school will likely hold it and notify her that it is going on. Depending on the state she may be able to challenge the garnishment in the courts if she never received notice. At that time the judge will set a hearing date for the parties to attempt to work out a settlement. Because of the small amount, it might be a good idea to call them and see if you can work out payment arrangements for something more reasonable than 25% of each paycheck.
