Re: threat to garnish wages

Yes, the doctors can still sue if you make a $10.00 per month payment. It should keep the creditors at bay for a little while though. I would pay with a money order so they dont get a judgment and then attach your bank account. You may want to consider bankruptcy or contact the consumer credit counseling service located in your phone book.
