Ok, I need help. I’ve been working at the same job in Oregon for ~10years now. I just recently got married and the wife starts scanning over my online pay stubs and sees an odd ’3rd party pay’ on the pay stub that I had never looked for or noticed. It turns out that I’ve been improperly garnished for child support in Texas for the last 10 years!!!

Just about $24k has been garnished over this time. So I call the Texas Attorney General and discuss my case. They put a stop on the garnish, but tell me that too much time has passed to collect any of the money. Is this true? Is there a time limit to reply I must meet when I’m illegally garnished and not even notified? What should my next course of action be?

my mom just found out a medical company is sueing her for medical bills that where paid by medicaid billed 5 years ago, and now few days ago, they started garnishing her wages and froze her bank accounts leaving her with no money to pay for any of her other bills and she only gets paid maybe 400 every 2 weeks, can they legally do this after 5 years of not a word or letter or bill saying she has bills to be paid,or saying medicaid paid them 5 years ago and then sueing her 5 years later?

I am divorced and my ex was responsible for a car that he purchased for his daughter that he has quit paying on now and it’s being repossessed. We are in Colorado and I am wondering what the repercussions are when they find the car and sell it and come after both of us (we are both on the loan) for the balance. My ex is active duty military – would they garnish both him and myself for the balance and if I’m not working will they come after my spouse and garnish his wages as well?

From Wisconsin–My boyfriend got into trouble with credit card debt and didn’t pay for many years. He was taken to court (he did not attend the hearing) and a judgment filed against him for wages to be garnished for 13 weeks. After 13 weeks, he will only have made a dent in the nearly $7000 debt. What happens after the 13 weeks is up? We want to get this paid off but won’t be able to pay it all off at once. Should he just keep paying a monthly payment after the garnishments ends? Will he be taken back to court? Thanks for any input.

In the state of Wisconsin are medical creditors allowed to garnish wages?

I live in PA and was sued by a postal worker after my yorkie terrier bit her. I settled in mediation to pay the woman but lost some major income. I stopped paying b/c i could no longer afford the payments. I had planned to repay a lesser monthly amount than agreed when i could. the attorney for the postal worker recently filed a judgment against me. Can he garnish my wages/ bank accounts or destroy my credit with this? Given the economy, you would think they would understand and try to work with me.
