Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

final judgement

I have a 2003 final judgement on a debit which states that i would pay $50 a month until the debit was paid. I have been making payments all along. A few days ago I received

papers in the mail advising that a motion to garnish my wages (for up to 25% of my net income) will be filed in 20 days if i do not responsed. My question is can they do that after there is a final judgement and if so what can i do to stop it?

Re: final judgement

I can't really tell you if they would be violating the settlement agreement, if any. A final judgment means that they won the case. If they won the case, they are allowed to attempt to collect on it.

Something you may consider is Bankruptcy. If you have a low enough income, you can still file for a chapter 7 and that way you would not have to pay them any further. Also, if you want to take action, the only thing I can think of to help you is to ask for a hearing in front of the judge in the case. They are the only ones with the power to stop a garnishment.

I also like to suggest that you visit our web page www.FLORIDACREDITLAWYER.com because there are good free articles on how to recover your credit. Finally, please let others know about our web page as we are here to serve.
