Illinois Wage Garnishment?

Question

How much can be garnished each pay check? I've heard several different things. I'd like to know for sure. Thank you.

Answer 1

Spifiman is correct.

Anjells answers are mostly correct most of the time but she really blew it this time and yesterday about the debt being re-aged.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but if you don't know the correct answer why answer at all?

Answer 2

I have posted a link to show the exact garnishment that can be taken in IL.

It's 15% or 45 times the min. wage of $5.15 whichever is greater.

Answer 3

The standard is is up to 30%. You need to get your credit report and dispute anything incorrect or old (> 7 yrs)

You've got  collection agencies calling you (last post)

Don't stick your head in the sand. If they debt is your call them for a payment agreement and a 'pay for delete' so when you're done paying, they'll remove the item from your credit report.
