Legal Question in Consumer Law in Wisconsin

Absolutely; Payday lenders or anyone else who can manage to obtain a court judgment against you is allowed to garnishee your wages. This includes small claims court judgments and there is no lower limit in terms of amounts being too small; they can garnishee for under $100 if they are will to spend somewhat more than that in court costs. You should therefore immediately schedule a free consultation with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer if you are facing possible garnishments, or any major collection claims which you cannot afford to pay or wish to dispute. This is particularly true once the collectors go to court, since garnishment is usually the next step. My comments here are intended to apply to similar situations faced by many, but not particularly to your case. They are offered for public educational purposes only. You should therefore consult with your own lawyer to meet your legal needs, or consider retaining one if necessary. Since I am not yet your attorney, I will not be taking any action on your case unless you retain me. Disclosure of confidential information in a public web forum is not recommended and is always subject to possible use against you later, in court.
