Farmers shouldn't be sued...they work very hard and get covered in mud...they need lots of countryside hugs to keep them happy x

It's tricky how this works so bear with me,\n\n   In Washington, companies need to give employees notification when they start garnishing wages.  These notifications are not served at work, but rather via a certified letter to your last known address (at least, that's how it's supposed to be done).  Not recieving this letter DOES NOT mean they can't start garnishing your wages, as the employer must do this immediatley when they recieve the court order.\n\nWage garnishments are used to collect money that you already know you owe and have not remitted to some agency (Child support, a lawsuit, Federal taxes, etc).  I suppose no matter how much it sucks, you're being garnished for something you have already done, and it's money you know you owe.  As such, your employer does not need your permission to do it.  They do however have to tell you what agency is collecting the money if you ask them, and the are required to TRY to mail you a copy of the writ.  By them not doing it, it certainly will not stop the garnishment, but you can file a greivance with the state AG.

The local governments (courts) do report, it will show up as a judgment  on the credit report--very bad!  Now that you have the judgment, does the defendant have any really good property or assets, excluding their homestead?  If they do, you need to file a Writ of Execution.  Depending on where you are, it could cost an additional $150.00, but now you can seize and sell their personal property.  Of course, that excludes property of which there is already a primary leinholder.  When the deputies show up to start seizing their stuff, that usually gets their attention.  Have fun.

A legal judgment has to be filed against you in a court of law.  Depending on what the garnishment is for (child support, failure to pay a bill, etc.) a copy of the garnishment order is to be delivered to your employer by the county sheriff, and then the employer is to notify you of the action.

In California, the judgment creditor cannot garnish more than 25% of your net pay.  If they start a wage garnishment against you, you and your employer will receive documents that show much should be withheld from your paycheck.\n\n25% is the maximum, but the court can also order that a lesser amount be withheld.  If the garnishment will leave you without enough money for necessities such as rent and food, the court can reduce or eliminate the garnishment.  However, it will be up to you to file the proper paperwork with the Sheriff and the court once the garnishment starts.

Yea, this sounds like you need the court to help you on this sweety...\n\nIf he's been self employed you might want to know also how long he's been self employed and how much he's claiming...This is all going to be done through court...Perhaps you can ask the court since he's self employed if it can be garnished from his bank account...I'm not sure if this is legal, but maybe ask the court or get some legal help...\n\nGood luck.

Go back to the same court that issued the judgment.  You  can ask the judge for a writ of garnishment, or a lien placed on any real property that the person owns.

I went to the county clerk and recorder office and recorded my judgment.  It automatically puts a mechanics lien on his real estate property. IE:house,land that he has in his name he cannot sell or get a loan until this is paid.  Also I got an Interrogatory form(long form) and had the sheriffs office give it to him, I did this three times but I can do it as many time as I want the judge said so.  The interrogatory makes him disclose all of his assets including his money in the bank.  Then I got another form for Garnish and Levy which will clean out his bank account and or subtract money from his paycheck or Income tax return.  All of the money I spent to collect from him is also added to the total amount and the total accrues at 8% a year.  I had to  to revive the judgment every six years to keep it active.  It's like money in the bank drawing 8% a year so if you don't get paid this year it don't matter.  This is Colorado Law it may be a little different where you live.  This is not advice but my experience.  You may use it however you wish. I did it all myself without a laywer.

First of all, I am NOT a lawyer, just a student.  But ironically enough we just covered this topic in class.  Once you have the judgement, you can either garnish their wages (won't work for you cause he quit his job) or go after their property.  The problem is what property do they own?  You need to know this before you can get a judgement to have it sold.  You can apply to the courts for a discovery so that the defendant is compelled to disclose all of his/her assets and the judge can then make an application on the spot for those assets to be liqidated to satisfy the debt.  You can also do a search with the local registry to see if he/she own a vehicle and make an order to have that sold or transfered to your name.  Hopefully this helps....

What do you do for a living?  Maybe you can show some good faith and work for me for free first... then I'll think about it.  (My point is that you would never work for free, so why do so many people think that lawyers should work for free?)\n\nBut my free advice is this:  You don't need a new judgment.  You need to track this person down at his or her new job and submit a new garnishment to the new employer.

Tell him he's right.  That you'll have to let the judge determine how much he should be giving you and his wages should be garnished for it, that way when he is too busy, he doesn't have to stop the important stuff he is doing to go give you the money.

Yes, you can recourse to a superior court. Ask for legal advise, recoursing is not cheap.

They can harass you for the statue of limitations(usually 7 years).  However if they sue you and win a judgement that will reset the statue of limitations and they may get your wages garnished.\n\nHopefully your situation is temporary.  If it is explain it to them and work with your creditor to get back on track.

Jennifer \n#1 You need to get a lawyer. A corporation cannot represent itself in a judicial proceeding.  \n#2 -- If this was a JUDGMENT, that means that they went through some process and it's enforceable as a matter of law.  Most likely, they filed a lawsuit against you, you didn't respond, so the court entered a "default judgment" for the relief requested by the Court.  This could have happened in Ill. OR in Florida. If the latter, then they have merely filed or registered the judgment in Illinois so that they may collect it. \nDid you ever receive a summons and complaint from these people? Did you ignore it, believing that it would go away?  If so, it will be hard to get the judgment vacated.  You usually need some excuse or good reason to have a judgment vacated (although in Cook County, you may get a sympathetic judge, who wants to adjudicate the merits, who will vacate and set the litigation going). See #1.\n#3 They have already "taken it to court" if, indeed there was a "judgment" filed against you. See #2.  If they merely have filed a complaint seeking judgment, that's a different story, and you have a short amount of time to respond to their allegations.  Get to a lawyer ASAP, otherwise you will be faced with a default judgment.\n#4 -- you won't get good legal advice for this issue here because of the fact-specific nature of your problem (exactly what was filed, the underlying dispute between the parties, etc.) Then you need to think about cost.  How much is the judgment for (or is the Complaint alleging?)? A good lawyer in Chicago will set you back $250.00 an hour at a minimum plus expenses.  If this is something you want to fight, expect $20,000 in fees for litigation at a minimum.  If this is a small matter, expect at least $2,000 in fees to reach an amicable settlement.\n\nThe Illinois State Bar Association should have a referral service on their website if you do not have a lawyer.  If you're willing to pay the going rate ($250.00 for associates, $400-500 for partners) in Chicago, I have some referrals for you.\n\nGood luck.

They will need to win a judgment in order to garnish your wages. \n\nFurther action means they may sue you. \n\nYou should attempt to settle or structure repayment before it gets to that point. \n\nHere is a good resource to help you: http://www.expert-credit-advice.com/debt_settlement_service.htm\n\n\nHere are the garnishment procedures listed by state: http://www.expert-credit-advice.com/wage_garnish.htm \n\nAgain, it would be wise to do something before they do!

Some states do all their enforcement adminstratively....so it depends on your state.  In my state we do obtain court orders to pay, but if the payer falls behind they administratively ADD an arrears payment without notifying either party.  So yes, it can be done.   There are some cases where CSAs allow the payer to pay without garnishing his wages, but again--if he fails to pay or falls behind--they will immediately send out the income withholding to the employer.  Please don't assume it was at your ex's request.  Agencies are under a lot of pressure to keep payers current or they lose 'federal incentives' to their respective agencies.  She very well may have been unaware of the enforcement action taken by child support. Check your state laws regarding child support at:\n\nhttp://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.htm
