Garnishments

these are court ordered correct?

Unfortunately yes

unfortunately only the creditors can stop garnishments.i doubt they will stop them.

So... just to make sure I understand. Who is the creditor for this? Is it the law firm or the credit card company?

the lawyer was hired by the credit card company.

Has anyone ever had any luck working with the creditor once the garnishment has been ordered to get it stopped and work out a payment plan that is more affordable. I can't imagine losing that much money a month!

one more question.did you go to the court date?

To be honest I just got the thing in the mail. In talking briefly with the law firm they have sent a few other notices, but I didn't get them. (We have an issue with mail theft in our neighborhood so it wouldn't surprise me.) I thought they would come certified mail or something. I don't even know what the court date was!

you could go to the courthouse and look into getting this vacated for improper service.you never were served it looks like.do not bring up the mail theft when you go.that's just my take.go to the courthouse and motion to vacate for improper service.

Does that take long? Would I have any luck contacting the law office and stating this is what I will do and try to get an extension on the garnishment?
