QUESTION
Is it legal to pay for both the garnishment and payments on a student loan?
Asked on Aug 05th, 2014 on Bankruptcy - Illinois
More details to this question:
I had a defaulted student loan and was served with a garnishment from Pioneer Credit (not the court). I made an agreement with them for a rehabilitation (9 payments then it would return to lender and be out of default). After 5 payments they are now saying the garnishment was not dismissed and I am supposed to pay both (the garnishment and payments.) Is this legal?

10% garnishment is normal rate to expect.

No. You should consult a consumer attorney immediately.
