Washington State..
I have a collection agency after me for medical bills, but I'm only recieving SSI. I'm worried that since I can't pay the debt that they can take my house (paid for) and maybe even sell some of my personal property inside the home. I'm also very concerened about garnishment of SSI? Can they do that? I don't knw what to do about this. Again, my house is payed for (inherited) but I live on a VERY small amount of SSI. If I lose my house I don't know what I'd do. All of my family has passed away and I'm alone to deal with this. What can or should I do? I have to respond to a letter I recieved today soon, within a week or so...Can they take my house? My belongings? Garnish my SSI? Any thoughts on this would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm worried. Thanks in advance.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
