My husband is being garnished right now from a debt from 1996, he didn't go to court for the initial summons to file a notice that he was going to appear, we didn't because we didn't have the $113 that we would have needed to provide to file the notice to appear. So we didn't hear anything about it, this was the first we had even knew that this debt was out there. I have sent (certified) the verification of the debt to the lawyer and they never responded. All of a sudden my husbands last check was very short. He called and found out that they started garnishing his wages. We never recieved any notification that they were going to do this, we never even recieved notification that there was a judgement entered against him. According to www.illinoislegalaid.com they needed to notify us that these were the steps they were going to take, and they didn't. What do we do now?
Thanks, Theresa
