- I received an Earnings Withholding Order and it creates a financial hardship for me. Can I get the wage garnishment payment reduced?
We can modify a wage garnishment payment when a hardship exists - but we cannot reduce the total balance due. To discuss a financial hardship, please call us at (916) 845-4064. Make sure you have your company's payroll fax number available in case we modify your garnishment.
- I filed bankruptcy and received an Earnings Withholding Order. What should I do?
Please call us at (916) 845-4064 to discuss your account and to fax us a copy of your bankruptcy petition. We will review your documents and determine if our order must be released.
- I am on a monthly installment agreement. When should I mail my payments?
You should mail your payments 5 - 7 days before your installment agreement due date. This helps ensure your payment is received on time. Make your payment payable to Court-Ordered Debt Collections and include your full name, account number, and billing number on your payment.
- What is an Order to Withhold?
It is a demand to a third party in possession of funds or properties belonging to the debtor to pay a delinquent court-ordered debt to the Franchise Tax Board.

We issued the order to collect your delinquent court-ordered debt. The addressee has been instructed to freeze all credits or payments (up to the amount due) for 10 business days. After 10 business days, the funds will be sent to our office and applied to your delinquent account. We are authorized to issue orders under the California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 19280 and 18670. If you have any additional questions, you can contact us at (916) 845-7064.
