A creditor does Wage garnishments as per the laws laid down in the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA). It allows garnishment to a maximum of 25% of employee's net earnings.

The provisions of the CCPA are supervised and applied by the Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Washington, DC.

If you have legal reasons to contest a wage garnishment, please call at their office at (202) 219-8743.
