Ignoring a lawsuit can lead to severe long-term consequences, like wage garnishment.

In this video, Attorney John Skiba explains that garnishment percentages vary by state, with some states like Arizona recently reducing it to 10% of net wages. He also discusses federal garnishments for student loans capped at 15%.

Filing a 'motion to vacate' is a legal strategy to challenge unjust garnishments, specifically for consumers who were sued for debt and never received notice of the lawsuit.

Very few consumers are actually considered 'judgment proof', but some types of income, like Social Security, are exempt from garnishment.
