Do I have any rights against creditor who garnished my bank account

debt collection: I received a garnishment from a particular debt and they took all the money out of my bank that was a loan from school to pay for school and my rent and now I am left in a negative and my bank will charge me fees until I get it back into the positive which I won\'t be getting a pay check until the 15th of this month. I did not have a warning that they will take money out of my bank instantly like that and leaving me even more in debt and not having money to pay my rent. I work all day and night- having two jobs and also going to school full time and I still don\'t have enough money to take care of myself right now. I don\'t know what I can do and I hope I get some legal advice. - Is this your question? Add additional information

Your situation sounds very difficult. If you only have enough income to live on without making credit card payments, you may be a candidate for bankruptcy. You should talk to a lawyer who specializes in Consumer Bankruptcy. Ther are many in Minneapolis who will meet with you for a free inital conference. You should check the listings on AVVO and selct somone who appeals to you.
