No. Federal law protects your job. A debt collector is not allowed to tell anyone — including your employer — about your debt, and you cannot be fired because your wages are garnished for one debt.
What if collectors call me at work?
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act stops a debt collector from telling your employer about your debt. If collectors are calling you at work, you can tell them:
Please stop calling me at work. I cannot take personal calls at work. Please remove this number from your records.
Can I be fired for a wage garnishment?
The Consumer Credit Protection Act protects you from being fired for having your wages garnished for one debt — even if the collector files the paperwork multiple times for that debt.
