What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? nj
I recently received notice from a payroll company that my wages are being garnished, from a judgment given 10 years ago, that now is being enforced.
At first I couldn't remember the creditor, but upon inquiring with the attorney I finally recalled them. Apparantly another company bought the debt and had a different name. I am sure I had paid them, but at any rate, is this legal.....
to issue a judgment without proper notification? the woman said they mailed it to a former workplace, however, they mailed me the garnishment notice, so they must have had the proper address. i never even got anything from them back then. The court said I could A. file a motion to vacate the order based on the fact that I wasn't notified or B. file a motion to reduce the garnish, which is 10% of my gross...ouch.
Confused as to what my rights are here?
