What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IN
Back in 12/09, I was taken to small claims for a $1500 medical bill. Rather than appearing in court, I signed an agreement with the plaintiff's lawyer to make regular payments to satisfy the debt. Those payments were to start 2/10, and I am up to date with the payments without another due until August. Today I received a copy of an order to garnish my wages. Why? With a signed agreement in place and regular payments, what is the benefit of doing this?
Also, the amount to be withheld is almost twice what I owe. I left a message for the law office to call me back on Monday, but they are generally rude and uncooperative. So I'm not very hopeful that this will get resolved with them. What do I have to do for the amount on the withholding order to be changed to the correct amount?
