Ok all my debt is in medical and home bills, I only have one cc and I own my vehicle. I have two children and no medical I am basically a minimum wage employee never made more then 11.00 p/h. I have hospital doctor dental and two apartment bills coming in that I have been paying on, One Hospital bill never came in til it hit collections when I tried to make payments they stopped sending the bills. Now its been over two years since I stopped paying the one bill, they have reported me dead twice now and sued me while I was out of state. They won a garnishment against me for 342 a wk. Now can I stop that since I was never served I lived out of state now I am home but you only get 30 days to appeal its been 6 months. They wiped out my checking account which only had my child support. What can I do? I am a single mom I pay 26 bills per month not including my rent which I lost my homedue to the checking account and then I lost my job. Is there anything that I can do?
I know you probably can't afford one, and I'm going to get screa
I know you probably can't afford one, and I'm going to get screamed at, but I seriously think you need to hire a lawyer. You need to see whether there is still time under your state's civil procedure rules to file a motion to vacate judgment due to improper service. You also need to file a suit against these guys to get your money back because child support should not be garnish-able. At the very least, most lawyers offer free initial consultations, and you could take advantage of that and at least get some advice on your state's laws. You can also try www.lawguru.com which is free. You won't get someone to represent you, but you can get the legal advice you need.
