What is the name of your state? Illinois. I have a wage garnishment against me at my part-time job. I am a full-time student, and I cannot pay all of my bills. Is there any way for this wage garnishment to be lifted from me? If the answer is no, do I have any other options? Thank you for any help you can provide.

The only way to get it lifted is to pay it off.

Since you are not the head of the household (obviously) I doubt that there are any exemptions available to you.

But wait and see if others post any opinions.

No, unfortunately, the garnishment is in place and options are limited.... you can quit your job, satisfy the judgment, or deal with the garn.

Well. since you posted this on a bk thread-bk will sure put a stop to it-assuming it's not court odered child/spousal support.
But, we'd need a lot more info before recommending bk.
