I had Lakota cash send a letter to my employer for a wage garnishment. My employer said they had to honor it because they were part of a native american tribe. I did some research and found that they do not have jurisdiction if I am not in the tribal area. On the contract it states that I will allow a wage garnishment, are they allowed to garnish wages without a court order even if i signed the contract "electronically". Is this a wage assignment being worded as a wage garnishment to get my employer to comply?

It's not a garnishment. It's a wage assignment and it's volunta

It's not a garnishment. It's a wage assignment and it's voluntary. You can revoke it at any time. Send an email to Lakota telling them you revoke any and all wage assignments you may have signed. Give a copy to your employer. That should take care of it.

this person started the exact same topic last week.you ohiogal,and paulcahill answered it.i'm watching this thread closely.btw i have a looooong memory.the OP also cited an IL law that applies only to wage assignments that have an actual signature.that was on their original thread.i find it interesting that now it's a garnishment.again i will be watching this closely.
