Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Minnesota
I have a debt that has now turned into a default judgment for an unpaid credit card from 12 years ago. They have now garnished my wages for the debt. I filed an exemption claim, as my daughter currently receives Medical Assistance from the state, but they are telling me that the exemption no longer applies if I am not the one directly receiving assistance. Is this true? What should I do next to stop the garnishment, and get the funds they have garnished back?

Filing a bankruptcy would stop the garnishment, and depending on the amount and whether you have exemptions available, you may be able to recover the garnished money.
Give me a call to discuss your options.

If the debt was barred by the 6 year Statute of Limitations you should immediately move to reopen default judgment
