hey Speedreaper
According to the consumer credit protection act 1968 the minimum wages of garnishment is 25%. but it may not exceed then 25 %.the amount of pay to the garnishment is based on the consumer disposible earnings.So they garnish 25% of the disposible earning of employer.you can just check out there can be benefits for child support or any thing else.
Regards

to reduce the percentage of garnishment you need to file the petition to the same court and you need to discuss this matter with the creditor.they will co-operate when you have paid a good sum after garnishment.  |

All the creditors taken together can garnish a maximum of 25% of your wage only if they bring judgment against you to do so. It is not possible to bring down the garnishment amount to less than 25% of you wage.

| I ENROLLED IN A REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR MY STUDENT LOAN WHERE I WAS TO PAY AN AMOUNT FOR 10 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS. I FELL BEHIND IN BY DAYS AND HAD PROBLEMS W/MY BANK. I WAS CALLED BY THE LENDER AND I INFORMED THEM OF ISSUES W/BANK THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT I ASK TO PAY THE 1 MONTH THAT WAS DUE 2 DAYS LATER AND WAS THREATEN TO BE REMOVED FROM THE PROGRAM AFTER 5-6 MONTHS AND THAT THEY WOULD GARNISH MY WAGES I CALLED BACK THEY DID NOT WANT TO WORK WITH ME THEY INSISTED THAT MY GARNISHMENT WILL TAKE PLACE AS I EXPLAINED THIS WILL RUIN ME FINANCIALLY. (BASICALLY LEAVE ME HOMELESS SINCE I AM ON A BUGET) THE RUDELY STATED TO ME THAT THE ONLY WAY THIS WOULD BE RESOLVED IS TO PAY THE WHOLE AMOUNT IN FULL AND THAT I SHOULD OF THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE AND WAS HUNG UP ON. THE GARNISHMENT WAS SENT TO MY JOB I HAVEN'T BEEN GARNISHED YET YET YET . ANY SUGGESTIONS THIS IS MAKING MY HAIR FALL OFF. DESPERATELY SEEKING ADVISE. |

| I am anticipating a wage garnishment and I was wondering, is there a way that I can pay a lower amount that what it would be and how do I go about doing it once it is done. Can I go into court when I am served or not |

| I got completely taken by surprise on a garnishment, and once they took the money there was no way I could get it back. but yeah an attorney is probably best, but the IRS is a bear to deal with. |

| If the creditor has already brought a judgment against you to garnish your wage, he can garnish a maximum of 25% of your wage, but not more than that. However, before the process of wage garnishment starts, you can talk to your creditor and pay him directly to avoid garnishment of your wage. |

| I did not get an order for support until the end of Feb. 09. I have made my monthly payments, but they did not arrive on the first of the month as they wanted. My wages started to be garnished the third month. How can I stop this? Can I make arrangements for payments to be withdrawn from my bank account? Thank you |

Hi Cheri
If there has been a judgment to garnish your wage for child support obligations, then I don't think that it can be stopped. Can you please tell me for how long is your debt towards child support?

Hi brent,
Quitting the job can be a short term way to avoid garnishment of wages. If you join a new job, it will take some time for your creditor to find out your new employer. However, garnishment of wages will start once they are able to trace your employer. There are 2 other ways to stop wage garnishment permanently. They are as given below:
1) Pay off the debt- If you have enough cash available to pay off the debt, you can contact your creditor. You can request them to accept payments for the debt accounts. Even if you have ready cash to pay off at least a part of the debt, you can take the help of an attorney, who will negotiate with your creditor on your behalf.
2) Filing bankruptcy- Though filing for bankruptcy is the last option to get rid of debt, it can stop garnishment permanently. If you file for bankruptcy, you must inform your creditors about it in writing. However, the debt amount is not reduced by filing for bankruptcy. The debts will be resolved during bankruptcy.
