If you want to prevent your wages from being garnished, here are some of the things that you can do concerning how to stop wage garnishment in Illinois: 1  Talk to your debtors. 2  Know the laws that govern wage garnishment in Illinois. 3  Get a wild card exemption.  File for bankruptcy.
Illinois law allows creditors to take 15 percent of your gross wages. This doesn't, however, mean that such a high percentage is mandated. Further, if you have multiple garnishments, the total amount of the garnishment can't exceed 15 percent. For example, a credit card garnishment of 10 percent of your wages would mean that a second credit card garnishment could be no more than 5 percent.
