But collection agencies will normally lie all the time, I always advise never ever talk to them on the phone, demand everything in writing. fitz11 Feb 17, 2012, 02:23 AM I was told by a bankruptcy lawyer last week that tax refund checks will be garnished for student loan defaults, back child support payments, unemployment overpayments, and back taxes owed...but credit card/collection companies should not be able to garnish federal tax refund checks even with a court judgement against you (state refunds may vary by state though)... They can get a writ of garnishment on your bank account though so if you deposit your tax refund check, they can "freeze" any money in your bank acct over $300....the bank is supposed to not allow anything under $300; so try to cash any large check rather than have it sit in bank acct.
