Can Social Security and retirement income be garnished?

I only receive SS, I own no property and have no car. I owe 3 cc companies. I cannot make ends meet. Should I file bankrupcy or send a letter to them and make arrangements or? Will my other cc company that I have no balance withdraw their card?

Can my SS and pension be garnished if sued by a pay day lender. It is a loan apparently from long time again that I can not remember and can't seem to get much info. I live in nc but not sure what state the internet loan was through. Thank you

THIS IS THE ONLY INCOME I GET. SS AND PENSON INCOME.

IS IT SAFE FROM REGULAR CREDITOR GARNISHMENT?

I HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT AND THAT IS ALL THAT GOES IN.

My son has a medical retirement from a broken neck he can not work for the last five years .
Now his wife of 29 years moved out over a year ago and is now trying to get the state to garnish his medical retirement and she has filed for divorce and is asking 600.00 per month child support .
The state is going to take almost 1000.00 which leaves him 300.00 per month to live on .
Is there anything he can do ,he didn't want the divorce and contested it but things are just going out of control,he is also bipolar,so she also got a life insurance with a suicide clause , I am worried he may see no way to live through all this, do you have any advise for me to help him. We do have a lot of proof of the lying she has been doing to get her help from the church and the state .

I am 82 and have only income from a very small ss check. I got a letter from a collection company nd I never got any letters from the bank they say I owe 400. I don't have a credit card. what can I do.

If my ss and pension are electronically deposited and are responsible for all the money in a checking account is there anything required to keep the funds safe. I was thinking of getting my pension delivered to where I live and use what is in the bank to cover cashing the check and have that for spending. I am in the city so being without a car is fine, my cell is on a family plan, I have health insurance to pay each month and everything else is included in the rent. Every thing I owe is credit card debt. Am I OK?

, he isn't working. I work at a scoohl district and bring home less than $1,000 a month to support my family. My daughter is in college. We are running on empty plus being garnished $200 a month to cover this debt.No one, including the garnishor can tell me what this debt is for. When asked for copies of signatures and what was purchased, they don't have it. The Sheriff's department is in charge of the garnishment and they also have nothing and refer me back to the garnishor. I am running in circles and cannot afford a lawyer to fight this. What do I do?

Hi my husband and I are on ss income only. we filed bankruptcy a few years ago. We are back in debt again and to early to file bankruptcy again. I know we shouldn't had gone back in debt but the creditors make it so easy and with limited income it just so easy to apply and use them. We were making payments and just now getting behind. My husband has been sick and we had to travel for his Dr appts. We have a child in the house that needed things for school.
any way we are behind in payments and the only income we have is social security and we have nothing in our name. What can the creditors do to us. I am worried. Thanks
