What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Califoria
Lawfirm won abstract judgment levied 2 accounts so far. Spoke with them a few times in the past, they will not work with me to pay an affordable amount. They asking for my work location to "update" their records. This is a debt i tried to pay years ago but the credit card company already sold it to this lawfirm. Everytime they hit my accounts they only get like $30. What are my options?

You could pay what you owe. Why should they work with you to pay an "affordable" amount?

ETA: Didn't like the advice from earlier this year, huh? https://forum.freeadvice.com/debt-collections-84/judgement-favor-creditor-614073.html

You could give them your work information, which will allow them to garnish your wages and get this matter over with more quickly. If they return to court, the judge will order you to provide that information, or they can just get it from your state's DOL/employment department. If you're working a non-payroll job, expect the account levies to continue until the debt is paid. If they're only getting ~$30 each time, that's not even covering the interest.
