Leyes de cobro de deudas por estado: embargo de salario, prescripción y recuperación de vehículos

Actualizaciones

Se corrigió la cita de la norma federal que impide a los tribunales y a los estados hacer cumplir una orden de embargo por debajo del piso de la Ley de Protección al Crédito del Consumidor: esa prohibición está en 15 U.S.C. 1673(c), mientras que 15 U.S.C. 1677 es la cláusula de salvaguarda que preserva límites estatales más estrictos.
