Hello,
I am not sure if I am in the right place to ask this question. I hope someone can help though. I'm paying a debt to the government, and we have an agreement where the garnish my check. They take $50.00 every week. It seemed like a good plan. A couple of weeks ago, I received a letter where they informed me that they are no longer using that collection company. Instead I'm suppose to contact a place called EDFUND. The problem is that when I called, I talked to a guy that sounded like a pushy, aggressive salesman. I wanted to go see if I can go back to the same agreement I had before. I was happy with that. Instead, he told me that if they are going to garnish my wages, they will take $225 a week, rather than $50. When I asked why would you do that he said that he can take 25% of my earnings. Why would he take $50 dollars when he can take $225 from me?. Isn't there a law that allows companies like these to take a maximum of 10% of a person's earnings, and not 25%??
If so, can you tell me what the law says? I feel I really need to get informed.
Thanks!!
