Can you be garnished for unpaid medical bills in Washington State?

Yes, if a civil judgement is made in court. The court can allow wages to be garnished but only to a specific amount of your "disposable income". There are many loopholes as to what disposable income is though. google more on the states RCW's and WAC's, that should guide you. Also look into the Federal Trade Commissions Fair Debt Collecton Practices Act, etc. There are many resources of info through web searches. Good luck but don't worry too much, a friend of mine has 107,000 in unpaid bills and makes min. wage... they garnish $14.50 every two weeks. Obviously it will never be paid off but really doesn't affect any standard of living since she's in poverty already. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. God bless Amercia!
