wage garnishment


can pdl companies legally garnish wages in new york
I had 7 loans, and closed my account before they could take mo ney
So far I have not heard from them. It has been about 2 months.
My account was in a negative balance, but paid it so i would not be reported on chex system
the negative balance was my own fault. I used my overdraft protection. Not a good idea !!!!!!


New York Wage Garnishment

The maximum amount recoverable is ten percent (10%) of gross income, or the federal maximum, whichever is less.

If the debtor is subject to garnishment for alimony, support or maintenance, the combined garnishments cannot exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of disposable earnings.

Income executions are prioritized by order of delivery to the Sheriff, but garnishments for alimony support or maintenance always take priority.

The execution is a two-stage process. First, the sheriff serves the execution on the debtor at his or her residence. If the debtor does not begin making payments within twenty (20) days, the sheriff levies on the employer

Now there is the issue of wage assignments - These are clauses put into the contract that say you give the pdl permission if you defualt on your loan to directly take the money out of your check. This is 100% voluntary, and all you have to do is revoke it.

Send each pdl a letter, certified mail, that states "I hereby revoke any and all wage assignments I may have signed with Company X." Keep a copy for proof in case they still try to put the wage assignment through.
