Expert Advice When You Need It Most
Wages were garnished, the company got there money, and then got a judges to grant a continuing lein.My wages were garnished for a debt, and I had the money taken out of my check every two weeks. The had to send in paper work every 90 days stating that the garnishment could be continued, and to re-evaluate what my disposable was. I finally paid them in full, and there was no other paperwork that was sent to me or my employer. Then 3 months later I got a notice for a continued lein. The case number is the same, and I know that there was nothing else in collections with them, and the amount they provided was the same amount as the last garnishment. Is there anything I can do to fight this? Attorney answers (1)
You can have a hearing to set aside garnishment if the debt was paid. You will need to notify the attorney who signed the garnishment and when you talk with them have all your paperwork with you so you can explian your side of the case. If it does not go well then get an attorney in your area. Occasionally the collection agency will make a mistake and apply the garnished funds to an incorrect account and perhaps this will sort out the problem.
Good Luck
