When you signed the payday loan paperwork, one of the clauses probably said that they were allowed to garnish your wages. Your payroll department is going to know the law pretty well and wouldn't allow it to happen without proper authorization. There really is only one option and that is to pay off the loan.

What are the state of Illinois garnishment statutes?

You can find the garnishment statutes in the Illinois Compiled Statutes starting at the section 735 ILCS 5/12-701. The Illinois Garnishment statute sets out the law regarding the garnishment of a third party such as an employer, insurer or other parties that might hold assets of another. For example, if you get into a car accident and you are sued and a judgment is entered against you, the plaintiff/judgment creditor might file a garnishment against your insurance seeking payment of the judgment from your insurance company. In other cases, a judgment creditor might garnish your bank to take the money from your accounts. You can look up the sections of the statute at your local law library or online. There are several websites with the exact language of the statute.

What if I don't have any assets and I have a judgment against me?

The judgment continues to sit on your credit report. In some cases, the person or company that was awarded the judgment on you can file paperwork to have your wages garnished and/or have any property that you have in the future held (titles) so you cannot sell them until the debt is repaid. That is uncommon though. In most cases, the judgment just sits on your credit, continuing to make it worse. You should pay your debt.


When a judgment is awarded against a man and wife and his company and the husband files bankruptcy on the company but the wife is not a party to the bankruptcy can her wages be garnished?

If both persons were sued and a judgment awarded but only the husband filed bankruptcy and included the debt; the judgment can still be executed against any non-exempt property belonging to the wife and perhaps jointly owned property as well. The legal presumption is that the debt is still owed because it was jointly incurred.
