wage garnishment perjury


Hello, my name is Karen Rippey and I live in Idaho. My husband and I were just sent wage garnishment papaers in the mail for his wages but on the court form it is clearly stated that we have made zero payments as of January 2006 and we have proof that we have made four payments per a payment arangement my husband made with the collection agency. Do we have any standing to stop this garnishment?

Of course you do, file an appeal to the writ of garnishment with the court where the judgment was rendered. You can then ask the court to be allowed to make payments in lieu of garnishment and the COURT decides - not the collection agency. In my state this is called a 'motion for slow pay', they may call it something different in yours, but ask the court clerk.

Agreement with a collection agency ?? Unless it was in WRITING, your husband has NO agreement.
