Well, according to the FTC the answer is no. There are two stages to this issue. First a lender must be licensed in the state they are lending you money in and if they are licensed they must file a civil suit before a judgement can be entered and a garnishment ordered.

∙ 12y agoNo. Payday loans are illegal in Maryland. Contact the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation for more information. Payday lenders are notorious for threatening law suits, garnishments, even arrest. Even if you lived in a state where payday loans were legal, they could not garnish your wages on their own. They would first have to sue you and win a judgment in court, which isn't going to happen in Maryland. If the lender or collector is telling you that they are garnishing your pay, then you may be able to sue them for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. These threats are prohibited by law. You can also check this out on the FTC.gov site.

What are the wage garnishment laws for payday loans in MD?
Your wages cannot be garnished for a payday loan in Maryland. Maryland has outlawed payday loans. They are unenforceable. The lenders will threaten you with garnishment, but they are powerless. They are simply trying to scare you into paying them. A legitimate collector would have to sue you in court for a judgement to get a garnishment. No collector can garnish your wages without a court order. You would know you had a court date because you would receive a summons to appear in court for your defense. Contact the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation and they will initiate an investigation into the payday lender/collector that is hassling you.
