Re: garnishment of wages

Any creditor can sue you and obtain a judgment against you. They can then take this judgment and start to garnish your wages. In Illinois, they can take up to 15% of your wages. A bankruptcy can eliminate this type of debt, so feel free to contact me with any questions and I'd be happy to help.

Thank you.
