I've just recently aquired a job to help pay down my debts...but in the past year, I was afraid to open an account being that someone has 'by law' has authorized to attacked my account and take the money from it, and I haven't been able to acquire any information as to who it is...and now, I've found out that I have not only one, but two Judgements placed upon me...I am afraid they will attack my place of employement and take my entire paycheck...what can I do...I would like to clear up this matter.

Thanks very much.

Athena, first of all, what type of judgment is this? Is it a wag

Athena, first of all, what type of judgment is this? Is it a wage garnishment or a wage assignment?

Legal judgments require some court papers to be served to you before taking out money from your place of employment. A notice must be served to you 20 days in advance before the court hearing. The judge will analyze your present financial condition on how much you can afford to pay at the present moment. Depending upon the laws on wage garnishment, the court will decide legally of how much money will be taken out from your wages.

If you have signed a voluntary wage assignment, court papers are not necessary to be served to you. But there are some legal requirements before the wage assignment takes place legally.

Check with the County Clerk if there is any legal judgment against you. You can also view the latest copy of your credit report for this purpose.
