My paycheck was garnished 10% today, to pay for an old credit card debt/judgement. On the papers I received a few weeks ago from my Local Court, it stated that if my weekly wages were less than $154.50 (30 times the Federal Minimum Wage), that no garnishment can be made on my paycheck. My paycheck is below that amount, yet 10% was still taken off today. Who should I contact about this- the Court, my employer, the original creditor...?
