GymJunkie Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I just got out of court for not having my fine completely paid off yet, the fine is 5 years old and I have been doing my best to get it paid off but now at court they tell me they just passed a law, and now they have every right to take my entire paycheck until the fine is completely paid off. I still have $3,111.92 to pay off and I only make 7.35 an hour Edited October 28, 2010 by Velvetdreams21 Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

PUNKYOU007 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah 5 years and you still own $3k, damn. I would say yes they can do that. I would think that they would not go that far as to take your entire check. Did they say they were going to do it or just that they could do it.

Skullz Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I don't think they can take a whole paycheck but i'm sure they'll take a major portion of it though, probably in the neighborhood of 30% to 50%. Double check with what the state law is on garnishing of wages.

GymJunkie Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 what the hell happend? Dumb 18 year old :-/ Yeah 5 years and you still own $3k, damn. I would say yes they can do that. I would think that they would not go that far as to take your entire check. Did they say they were going to do it or just that they could do it. $3k is what I have left to pay, thats down from $5k I think it was. He said because of new law they dont handle the fines anymore and its all being turned over to the department of revenue. He said they have the right to take my entire paycheck but he doesnt know if they will I don't think they can take a whole paycheck but i'm sure they'll take a major portion of it though, probably in the neighborhood of 30% to 50%. Double check with what the state law is on garnishing of wages. Who should I call to find out about that? I looked online and what I found seemed like a federal thing for up to 25% Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

Robert8252 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 From seeing some of my employees checks I think the limit is 50%. A guy had two child supports coming out and they took I think 48% of every check. Should be similar for anything. They can't take you're entire income though. There's no way that could be true I would hope. This isn't china..

I really hope you're right, even tho half my check is gonna hurt my chances of ever getting my car fixed its better than stopping me from eating. And may not be China, but it seems we are getting closer and closer with so many things. What did you do? I went spray painting Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

cOmpressor Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Maybe get a small loan from your bank. Then pay the bank back on your terms, I'm sure you could get a decent monthly payment option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
