Trophy is right. Check to see if the statute of limitaions has run on the debt before paying a dime, because generally LVNV tries to collect on debts which it has purchased. Don't admit to owing even a portion of the alleged debt.

A writ of garnishment is one of the ways that is used by a creditor to recover unpaid debt. For the wage garnishment of a debtor, the collectors and creditors have to first get a court ordered judgment. There are different laws for wage garnishment in different states.
In North Carolina garnishment of wages is possible only if the debtor has considerable amount of money on deposit and there is no family member who is dependant on those funds for support. However, garnishment of wages is possible in collecting other claims like:
1. To get back unpaid taxes
2. To impose an order for child support
3. To impose a judgment to recover the payment for the medical services offered by any public hospital.
