Allowed. At present four U.S. states - North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas - do not allow wage garnishment at all except for debts related to taxes, child support, federally guaranteed student loans, and court-ordered fines or restitution for a crime the debtor committed. Normally the maximum is 25% of wages.

What are the wage garnishment laws for payday loans in New Jersey?

I also have been looking into this and it seems the state wage garnishment laws are 10% of your gross income. Payday loans are prohibited in the state of NJ and they do have a usury law set in place. I do not know what our rights as consumers are when it comes to these internet payday companies. They state that we have to abide by their (payday loan sharks) state rules. I hope this is something, I have been trying to get out of this mess.

Can a credit card company take your home and your wages in New Jersey?

When a creditor wins a lawsuit they can enforce a writ of judgment which can be wage garnishment. Wage garnishment may not exceed 10% of the gross salary of the defendant,the first $154.50(based on being paid weekly) is exempt under federal law. NJ allows the choice of federal or state exemption concerning homestead exemptions. The federal exemption being more beneficial for the debtor. The exemption is $18,450 and may be doubled for married couples. There are other exemptions which can protect specific amounts and items of real and personal prop. Some states allow the forced sale of a home that is not covered by the homestead exemption. However this is rarely done when it pertains to the primary residence.If you feel I can be of further assistance please email me macky83@juno.com
