What is the name of your state? Idaho
I am currently being garnished for past due medical bills, and have a pending judgement for additional medical bills after this garnishment is met. The garnishment puts me into an extremely difficult situation, having to completely support my four kids. I have been told by my doctors to apply for disability, and I am currently under medical care. I don't want to apply for disability because I want to work, and continue my education. I am 2 semesters away from my degree in nursing. The past due medical bills were for sugeries (I had 7 surgeries in a matter of 12 months), and was not insured for part of the them. The hospital I went to is a not for profit hospital. In addition to the hospital, there are the doctors, labs, supplies, pathologists, and numerous others that were advising on my case. I am just wondering if there is any way to decrease the amount that they are taking out of my check, which is 25%. I have had to apply for some state assistance to help due to these garnishments, where before I was able to be self sufficient.
Thank you.
