    So, don’t ship boxes of money. Bank transfers or checks. If you’re getting garnished, I’m sorry to say, but pay your debts.

      This is not garnish because it went to the police department. Garnished wage goes to the debt payment

        Correct. I am referring to the “what about” objection of not using banks because of debt collection

        Disclaimer: I don’t agree with this person.

        But they’re aluding to the fact that one of the main reasons people don’t use banks is because they owe someone money and their bank accounts are able to be garnished. The only sure fire way to keep your money from being garnished is to keep it as physical cash.

      It is not illegal to send money by mail and there are legitimate reasons to do so. This is a blatant money grab by a corrupt government.
