People living on Social Security benefits all over the United States are asking..."Can Social Security be garnished?" "Can a debt collector take your Social Security benefits?"
Debt collectors are famous for calling you at home (or at work, which is against the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act), and making threats. "If you don't pay your bill, we're going to get a court order and garnish part of your Social Security and levy your bank accounts." People wonder..."can they really do that?"
