What is needed to stop wage garnishment for spousal support and back child support when the ex spouse passes.?

A friend who is currently paying back child support and spousal support through wage garnishments wants to stop it as his ex just passed away. What does he need to show the court, a death certificate?

How old is the child? He might still have to pay if the child is not with him!! They might just be forwarding it to someone else!!

No, you cannot consolidate defaulted loans. You have to be in good standing to consolidate- that's why it is recommended students consolidate while still in the grace period.

How do you stop wage garnishment from Franchise Tax Board when you make only 7.85/hr?

Can this be done without hiring a firm to rip me off just to stop them from taking every penny I make?

The California Franchise Tax Board makes the IRS look like pacifists. The FTB does have a taxpayers advocate, (916) 845-4300, Good luck.

Unfortunately not, I work for a very large bank and I get these questions everyday, if the judge has ordered a motion to allow the cdreditor to garnish your wages then it will not be lifted until the drbt is satisfied completely and this can only be done by the creditor its themselves, your bank and your payroll company will need legal documentaion that can only be produced by the creditor

How to stop wage garnishment?

New postby Wes » 21 Oct 2012, 18:43

I just got served with papers to go to court. Apparently my old college is trying to say that I owe the 6 grand and they sold my debt to a collector so know i can't even argue the legitamacy of the debt. I have no money for a lawyer, but I heard if you file for bankrupcy it will at least buy some time. I am not interested in finishing the bnkrupsy, but merely getting to that 7th year so the money will fall off

Unfortunately, Student Loan debt cannot be removed within a bankruptcy, nor is there a statute of limitations on this type of debt.

You will need to either 1.) show up in court by yourself or 2.) obtain a lawyer. You may be able to obtain a lawyer pro bono, or one that deals with these cases fairly cheaply.

However, if you decide to represent yourself, I would state that you would like to pay the debt and set-up a payment plan. Keep in mind, that unless you have legitimate logs that you have taken showing that you have attempted to set-up a reasonable payment plan with the collector, the judge may not allow you the option to set-up the payment plan.

If a judgement is entered against you, that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll garnish your wages. It may take them several months to have an order or wage garnishment placed against you. They may also choose to instead freeze your assets and/or any funds in bank accounts under your name.

All in all, I'd say call a lawyer, regardless of if you think you can afford one or not.

How do I stop a wage garnishment judgement due to a credit..

New postby Clemmie » 21 Oct 2012, 18:43

How do I stop a wage garnishment judgement due to a credit card not being paid?

Help, I had a hard 2 years and did not keep up with this one credit card bill that was sold to a debt company who came after me and apparently judgment has been awarded to them to garnish some of my wages. What is my best step to prevent them from doing so. This is stressful and scary. This is occuring in NJ. Judgement says I can write an appeal to the court clerk but I have no I idea where to start.

It sounds like they got whats called a default judgment because you did not show up for your court date.

If this is true I would start by saying that you were never properly served and did not know about the court date. If the judge agrees at least you can then go to court and plead your case.

You may be able to get the judgment thrown out or at least reduced.

Good luck.

If you were given legal notice that your wages were going to be garnished, then you need to get an attorney because it will be difficult to stop the garnishments without an attorney. You can then have the garnishments stopped, modified, refunded, or even the possibility of having the debt disappearing (depending on your situation). Do not wait because your financial picture will soon get out of hand.

Who is garnishing the wages? If the government is garnishing your wages for restitution, taxes or child support then no. otherwise yes.
