The Illinois Wage Deduction Summons is a legal document used by creditors in the state of Illinois to collect a debt from a debtor's wages. It is issued by a court and enforced by the county sheriff. There are two types of Illinois Wage Deduction Summons: the Earnings Deduction Summons (EDS) and the Attachment Summons (AAS). The EDS is a document that orders the employer to withhold a specific amount of the debtor’s wages in order to satisfy the debt. It can be issued to any employer in the state of Illinois who employs the debtor, even if the employer is located outside of Illinois. The AAS orders the employer to hold the debtor’s wages up to the amount of the debt owed. The employer must then send the wages to the creditor. This type of summons can be issued to any employer in the state of Illinois, regardless of their location.
