Wage Garnishment and Bankruptcy Exemptions -- South Carolina
WAGE GARNISHMENT EXEMPTION: 100 percent of wages exempt

And I was looking it up well before you answered--amazingly enough, the world doesn't revolve around your answers.

If I were her, I would not proceed with garnishing an employee's wages without written notification from either the federal govenment or the state of South Carolina. I certainly would not do it because someone told me to over the phone based on a collection agency's say so. She needs legal advice so she does not end up on the wrong end of this.

You didn't say you looked it up - you said you called an Attorney friend, I disagreed and I posted the exact language - you continue to post the Bankruptcy portion of the code.

Amazingly enough on this topic the World DOES revolve around my answer - and the answers of everyone else who has posted on this thread.
