The exceptions are: Child support, alimony, owed taxes and student loans. The length of time the debt was owed does not matter. The amount that would be garnished from your checks is dependent upon your state's law. If your state doesn't have a specific law regarding this, then the amount would be the maximum allowed under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.

They can take your entire paycheck. Then, you have to talk to them and make arrangements to pay. They sometimes give you back part of your check - but they don't have to.

They vary from state to state. Check your local laws. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.
