My employer received court orders that have a garnishment notice. But I have never received any court orders, no phone call nothing. Though I don't deny I defaulted on credit card payments. But they did not even give me an opportunity to pay back. Garnishment begins in the next 30 days. Is there any way I can stop garnishment?
Hi jnnd,
A creditor cannot garnish your wages without a court order. I think you should go to the court which passed the garnishment order. The court clerk will be able to provide you with the papers related to the judgment. If you feel you did not receive the court summons, you can file a motion to vacate judgment. Filing for motion to vacate judgment will temporarily stop garnishment.
You will have to fill out a form and pay a fees. You will be given a date (your creditor will also be informed), when your case will be heard. If the judgment goes in your favor, the case will be dismissed and the court will give you a document as proof of the same. Garnishment of your wages will also stop, if you win the case.
Yes, this is possible. Garnishment can be stopped if you talk to your creditors directly. Do not ignore any letters or phone calls of your creditors; take time off to talk with them directly or through their lawyer for an amicable settlement of the debt. However, a person need to come to an agreement with your creditor before he files for a garnishment.
Wage garnishment
My employer has recieved a writ of garnishment. I have obtained a form from the court of where the writ of garnisment came from in littleton,CO. The form has the words "motion to" and than a line where I can fill in what I want to motion. To re-issue the garnishment, what should I fill in on the line after the words "motion to"?

garnishment
Hi,
Pull a copy of your credit report, and check the status of your account. Check whether or not the account is listed as "Settled" or "Judgment satisfied".
Thanks,

garnishment
Hi brian,
if I file a motion to vacate judgment can I call creditors and make offer?
Can I know on what basis you are going to file the motion to vacate the judgment? Did not you receive any notice regarding the lawsuit?
You have mentioned that you are going to make an offer to the creditor. So, is it a settlement offer? If it is then yes you can make the settlement offer. However, whether or not the creditor will agree to your offer is upto the creditor.
Thanks,
Aaron
I received a summons stating that the creditor was filing a lawsuit against me and that I had 30 days to contact the lawyer or a court date would be set. I contacted the lawyer who gave me three options to pay. I never received any paperwork from them stating our agreement and therefore did not pay. Now I have received a notice stating that there has been a judgement against me which will garnish my wages for 25% of my take home pay. My question is: are they allowed to get a judgement against me without my knowledge of a court date? And also, is there anything I can do to stop the garnishment? What is my next step? According to the documents, I can file a traverse but I have no idea what that is.
summons
Hi lala,
You should have answered to the summons. Even if you settle with your creditor you are supposed to answer to the summons if you receive one. Moreover, you didn't even get a settlement agreement.
My question is: are they allowed to get a judgement against me without my knowledge of a court date?
You were served the summons. Thus, you are supposed to know about the court date. The court won't know that you had a verbal settlement with the creditor.
According to the documents, I can file a traverse but I have no idea what that is.
You can file a traverse to dissolve the garnishment. But you will have to give valid reasons for this. I think you should consult an attorney.
Thanks,
Aaron

Garnishment
I have a credit card debt I tried to come to a payment agreement with my creditors and I could not. A Law firm now is handling this debt and they basically want the full amount . I received the garnishment letter from the payroll dept. 25% which is $300 a month my take home pay is 1,200.00 a month which will leave me short.what other options to I have since they did'nt want to take $5000 as a pay off. Would filing a Traverse make a difference at this point.

It seems that you were not properly served. In that case, you can appeal to the court and request them to vacate the judgment.
student loans
I have outstanding student loans, that Sallie Mae refused to work with me after me being unemployed for 6 years! They forced me to default, I have never, ever once received any summons for court, any court papers just constant phone calls, threats, wage garnishment threats, now after finally finding full time work, they are calling my work (which last I checked was illegal), threatening to garnish my wages again. Once again, this is the first I have heard, with a new debt collector - still zero court papers - nothing! Each time I try to call to make arrangements to pay - they continue to try to collect on a loan that is about 200k - mind you my student loans were 46k. I can't even afford to fix my breaking car how am I suppose to handle a "suppose wage garnishment" that still has never produced a court order/summon/date, anything. What can I do?
