I am being threatened with wage garnishment by our local tax collector. This is not a state or federal income tax issue. I live in the state of Pennsylvania. My question: If I'm unable to pay the total amount owed by the date specified and wage garnishment occurs what is the maximum percentage I should expect to be deducted from each paycheck? Second related question: It doesn't appear that I'll be able to pay the amount due by the due date. Is there anything I can do at this point to avoid or suspend wage garnishment until I can come up with the money owed? Thank you
