Can Collection Agiencies get a judjment against my social Security?

Hi blkknt,

Welcome to this community :)

Collection agency can get a judgment against you for non payment of debt. However, they can't garnish your Social Security as it is non garnishable under the Federal Law. Still, you should check the garnishment laws in your state. Also, you should notify your bank and collection agency that your money comes from social security.

Can I know what kind of debt is it?

Thanks,

Aaron
