Hello. I received a wage garnishment notice from two different Marshals. Each told me I can pay 10% of my weekly gross income on a weekly basis or my employer will be notified of the wage garnishment. It was my understanding that the max I can be garnished was 10%. However, since I received a notice from two different Marshalls, I will have to pay a total of 20% if I want to avoid my employer from receiving the garnishment notices. Is this legal? If I do nothing and my employer receives both notices, will my employer be legally allowed to garnish me the 20% or will they only garnish me 10% period. I greatly appreciate your advise with this desperate matter.
