Some Payday loan company left me a voicemail threatening that they could garnish 40% of my pay and yadayada. Now i know it's not that simple, but i am a little unsure of how garnishment works
1) I live in Pa, which i'm pretty sure doesn't allow garnishment save for taxes, child support, federal loans. Although my work's corporate office is in Georgia. So which state applies for garnishment laws? Or is it the state of this PDL company
2) Even if they could garnish, it's not a simple matter right. I'd have to go to court first?
This is a matter i'd like to resolve simply but they're not very flexible...they will only accept ACH payments and won't send any writing to me until i agree to a payment plan (i know better than this though). Of course i also don't want them to even contact work. Any advice is appreciated

first send a letter revoking any wage assignments
to your HR dept.most PDL'S will try to push
through a wage assignment.those are revokable.
a garnishment needs a court order.next send DV
and C&D letters.this will make them prove they
have legal rights to the debt and the legal
right to collect.plus it contains a cease and
desist clause.send these certified mail return
receipt.

yes internet...called Cash2daylimited
the guy claimed that fee was the result of '69 returned payments of 79 dollar fees' ...i know the account i took pay day loans out a few years ago was closed more than 2 years ago (they are saying this loan is from September 2005).
The problem is i cannot find any info on this company...they wouldn't give me an address, and i found nothing online.

i think cash2daylimited is another overseas illegal PDL.send that wage assignment letter.i would make sure your HR gets a copy first,this place could fax it tommorow.some places just honor it.this place couldn't get a legal garnishment if there lives depended on it.

According to them nothing...i mean a few years ago i was in some finance trouble and got a few of these that i din't keep track of. but i know last year i paid some off, and this name isn't ringing a bell. That's not to say i never took out the loan, however i want to be sure before i pay them.
