I had posted last week about Faber and Brand, a debt collection attorney located in Missouri. I had a hospital bill that I was paying and sending them money each month. Last week I received a notice of garnishment. I called these people and they state they never received my January payment and went ahead and filed for garnishment! No warning, no phone calls, letters, nothing! I checked with my bank and the check I sent was still outstanding so now I have a check floating around uncashed and it is probably sitting on one of their so called "associates" desk! Luckily I got paid this week so I just sent them the balance due by certified mail (bank check) to get rid of these people. Never in my life have I ever dealt with unreasonable people like this. There should be a law against this kind of harrassment.

Let me tell you that a collection agency has no right to garnish

Let me tell you that a collection agency has no right to garnish your wage. A court can garnish your wage if and only if judgment is given against you. First of all you should have received a summons from the court. Inquire about any such judgment in the court. Contact the clerk of the county court.

Hi,

Well, technically, they can ask your employer if they will perform a wage garnishment voluntarily. Most employers will not do it without a court order, but many will.

charbo62, btw, once you do pay the balance, I'd put a stop payment on that check that wasn't cashed in a heart beat.

Thanks. I have taken care of this and I am so glad to get rid of these people. I rec'd a letter friday from them addressed to my court stating they are stopping the garnishment (I paid them off). If anyone ever has the misfortune of dealing with this attorney office, I feel for them.
