You Can Stop a Wage Garnishment in Ontario – Here Are Your Options!

Wage garnishments impact thousands of people every day - and can come as a most unpleasant surprise for those individuals.

No matter where you work - whether you are an employee in a large corporation or you own your own business, creditors, through the court, can still place a wage garnishment on your wages or your receivables. If you are an employee, your employer is served with a Notice of Garnishment and must comply. If you are self-employed, your clients are served and must submit any payments directly to the court. 

Beyond the financial implications, a wage garnishment in Ontario can have serious consequences in other areas of your life. For example, if you work for someone else, once that individual receives a Notice of Garnishment regarding the wage garnishment, they will be fully aware of your financial problem and thus may view you in a different light. Responsibility and reliability may be questioned, and any company that required a credit check upon hiring may take this new information into consideration.

If you work for yourself, especially with a small company, your reputation is important, but if your clients are receiving letters telling them to submit payment directly to the court, this could tarnish that reputation. The hassle may cause those clients to look elsewhere in the future.

Once a garnishment is in place, is paying it off the only option? Perhaps not.  A wage garnishment in Ontario can often be stopped but this largely depends on who issued it.

Here are a few of the most common types of wage garnishments in Ontario:

1.     Issued through the court – someone sued you, got a judgement and is enforcing it. Generally this can mean a loss of up to 20% of your earnings, and can only be stopped by paying the debt or making an arrangement with a creditor, by court motion, or by arranging a bankruptcy or consumer proposal with a debt counsellor.

2.     Issued by the CRA - the CRA does not need a court order, and can garnish up to 50% of your wages. If you are self-employed or on a pension this could be up to 100%. A CRA wage garnishment can only be stopped by: CRA’s consent or an arrangement, by arranging a bankruptcy or consumer proposal with a debt counsellor, or by taking CRA to tax court (the most expensive route). A CRA wage garnishment is particularly nasty….

3.     Issued by Family Responsibility – the only way to deal with one of these is to pay it in full or go back to court - there is no other option.

4.     Issued because of EI overpayment or by government after receiving money under false pretense – this can be complicated and these are instances where it is difficult to get protection. Like the CRA, this does not require a court order and if fraud is involved it can get tricky.

When you are facing a garnishment of your wages, no matter the source, your best bet is to speak with a debt counsellor. The solution to your financial problem will largely depend on your personal circumstances, but ignoring the garnishment should never be an option.

  5. Saya memiliki skor kredit yang sangat rendah sehingga upaya saya untuk meminjam dari Bank ditolak. Saya bangkrut sampai-sampai saya tidak mampu makan tiga kali sehari dan juga saya benar-benar bangkrut karena nama saya identik dengan kemiskinan. saya berhutang baik dari teman-teman saya dan juga dari rentenir hidup saya di bawah ancaman saya harus melarikan diri dari rumah dan saya membawa anak-anak saya untuk bertemu ibu mertua saya karena sifat ancaman yang saya terima dari orang-orang yang meminjamkan saya uang Jadi saya harus mencari cara cepat dan mendesak untuk membayar kembali uang itu dan juga memulai bisnis baru usaha pertama saya sangat mengerikan karena saya ditipu sebesar Rp5.390.020.00 saya harus pindah juga dua minggu kemudian saya kehilangan Rp350.000,00 kepada pemberi pinjaman yang curang jadi saya turun secara finansial dan emosional karena ini adalah yang paling tidak saya harapkan sehingga seorang teman saya memberi tahu saya untuk menghubungi email ini: :( iskandalestari.kreditpersatuan@gmail.com) bahwa saya harus meminta jumlah berapa pun berharap agar Bunda Iskandar selalu menjadi kembali untuk memberikan bantuan keuangan kepada siapa pun yang membutuhkan sehingga saya meminta untuk jumlah Rp850.000.000,00 dalam waktu 24 jam cerita saya berubah untuk selamanya saya membayar semua hutang saya dan saya juga memiliki cukup uang untuk membiayai sendiri bisnis semua terima kasih kepada teman saya yang memperkenalkan saya kepada ibu khususnya dan juga kepada Ibu Iskandar pada umumnya untuk mengubah rasa malu saya menjadi terkenal
