How do I stop US Dept of Education garnishment?


I need to prove hardship. Any similar situations or any suggestions?

You should seek legal counsel.

That being said, without knowing what state you live in or what the facts of your case are, it sounds as though if the Dept of Ed. is garnishing your wages for whatever reason, they would have a court order to do so. If you're looking to prove hardship, the court is probably looking towards the equity of the situation before taking your wages away from you. You would show hardship in that sort of situation by showing that any deduction from your wages is going to prevent you from paying some of your essential bills. So if your budget is very tight, it should be easy to show the judge that your income is X, your expenses are Y, and any garnishment from your wages will cause you to starve.

On the other hand, if you can reasonably cut down your expenses by perhaps spending less than $3,000 per month on your hair, the court may take that into consideration as well.

The government tightened this loop hole up a few years ago. Guess the tax payer got tired of paying for everyone's education. Damn those tax payers!!
