What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi, my wife just got hit with a garnishment on a car she had repossessed 17 years ago. She had less than a weeks notice before the payments started coming out of her check and she is being hit for 25%. There are a few things that don't sit right for me with this one. The company said that a judgment was made against her in December of 2013. They claimed that she was properly served yet we did not receive any service for this court date . It is furthermore suspect because when she contacted them to try and prevent the garnishment the only address they had for her was one that we haven't lived at since 2006. They also claim that they called her about a year ago and because at that time she asked what it was about that qualifies as acknowledgement of debit and therefor renewed it. They now refused to work with her stating that a year ago she said she would call them back and never did. She does not remember this conversation. My question is, can they do this and is there any recourse we can take to stop it? Thank you.
