Here is some information that may be helpful to you. I researched some things on the web about Louisiana Wage Garnishment. As follows: The credit card company would go to your local court house and file a suit aqainst you. The sheriff in that county will 'serve' you papers. You have so much time to respond. However,..a credit card company can only take your wages if you make MORE than "30X the minimum wage" of the state of Louisiana. If you make minimum wage or less than that, your wages cannot be garnished. They CAN take the remaining debt from your tax refund. ALSO...certain types of income they CANNOT garnish(IE- IRA, Child Support, Assistance like 'Medical or Food stamps, etc.). A judge will then determine how much the CC companies can garish you. Hope this helps. Smile

Please tell me what state you live in. When did the IRS start garnishing your wages? Do you have documentation how much you owe the IRS and how much you have 'paid in' so far? Just a bit more information, please, so I can possible give you answers. Thanks.

I just rec. notice that Capial One is going to take 25% of my pay.

Any suggestions? Should I call to see if they will lower payoff?

What is the average a card company will take off. 60%

MYCHAEL....can you please tell me what state you reside in? ALOT of CC companies will send out 'threat' letters to people. Some information from you will be helpful: what state you live in; what you hourly rate is, etc. ..just so I can look up a few things on the web for you. Thanks.
MATTIAS....just curious how something like that could change. If the judge told you if you continue to make monthly payments, then the garnishment wouldn't happen. Do you have documentation of what the judge's 'order' was? Are you keeping up with you monthly payments?..do you have proof you are?
WMG..you state that you only make $6 per hour. Why do you NOT make minimum wage? What state do you live in? What CC are you referring to? I can look up information, on the web, if you would like me to and give you that info.
DIANNA..if you give me the state you live in, I can find out information for you. Thanks.
