Wisconsin Garnishment Process & Fees is the procedure and fees associated with the legal process of collecting debt owed by an individual or entity. This process, which is overseen by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DID), involves a creditor filing a court action to collect a debt through a wage garnishment. There are two types of Wisconsin Garnishment Process & Fees: 1. Non-Consumer Garnishments: This type of garnishment involves the filing of a court action to collect a debt from a business or other entity. The fees associated with a non-consumer garnishment are typically higher than the fees associated with a consumer garnishment. These fees include filing fees, court costs, and attorney’s fees. 2. Consumer Garnishments: This type of garnishment involves the filing of a court action to collect a debt from an individual. The fees associated with a consumer garnishment are typically lower than the fees associated with a non-consumer garnishment. These fees include filing fees, court costs, and attorney’s fees. Both types of garnishment process involve the debtor's employer being served a notice of garnishment and then withholding a portion of the debtor's wages until the debt is paid. The employer then sends that money to the creditor. The amount of the garnishment is limited by Wisconsin law to 25% of the debtor's disposable earnings or the amount by which the debtor's disposable earnings exceed 40 times the federal minimum wage, whichever is less. In Wisconsin, the garnishment process must adhere to the state's laws and regulations, which vary by county. It is important for debtors to understand their rights and responsibilities under Wisconsin law to ensure that the process is followed correctly.
