Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Michigan

Re: judgement

What they did was legal. I don't understand the problem. You may wish to consult with a bankruptcy attorney.

Re: judgement

A judgment creditor is allowed to use a number of methods to collect on the judgment, including garnishment of bank accounts, tax refunds, and wages to a certain amount. You should have received notice by mail both of the judgment and the garnishment. It is generally unlikely that garnished funds will be recovered.

You may have the option of challenging the garnishment and possibly the judgment itself, but this is a very complex process for which you should consult an experienced attorney.

Based on the situation you described, I agree with the previous attorney that the best action for you may be to consult with an attorney who can advise you on bankruptcy, which will stop the garnishment and other collection attempts until the estate is resolved.

Good luck to you!
