I live in CA. I got a car in 2000 and it was a lemon. About 18 months later i did a voluntary repo and the car was sold at auction leaving me about 2500.00 left to pay. I was sued by the loan company in 2002 and lost the case and never heard from them again until about a month ago when they started garnishing my wages at 25 %. I tried to make arrangements and they denied them. I submitted a writ of exemption to show I couldn't afford a garnishment of that much and the loan company denied it and I was sent a court date for a judge to decide if the amount being garnished was fair or not. Well the letter i received with the court date on it had the wrong date. I took off from work w/o pay and showed up to court early on Oct. 3 which was the date on the letter only to find out the actual court date was for Sept 30. The location was even wrong on the letter I received. I did everything right and now I will have to try to get the decision overturned because I was given incorrect info. It could take another month to get another date and my checks are still going to be garnished while i am waiting. What can I do? Was this illegal? I think i was given the wrong date and location on purpose. I will now be facing eviction and possibly loose my job because of this. What can I do?
