Does the law in Georgia allow personal property such as your car or real estate to be seized -- I have a judgement against me. Also how long is the judgement and garnishment good for?

This surprises me but in Georgia the creditor can withhold 25% of your after tax earnings PLUS your employer is allowed to charge YOU a handling fee of up to $50 per paycheck on top of that!
Amazing.
