My credit card debt is overwhelming me. One bank turned my account over to an attorney. The attorney's office on the phone told me that they will begin to garnish my income. My only income is SSDI. Can they do that?
Your SSDI cannot be garnished until and unless you owe any governmental debt that is in default. But the creditors can go after your bank account if your SSDI is deposited there.
In general, only the Financial Management Services which is a part of the US Department of Treasury, has the right to garnish the SSDI.
Thank you George for your answer. This only involves credit card debt. I have read that if your checking account only has your SSDI or SS payment showing up as a credit, they cannot garnish your SSDI check. They can garnish other deposits in your account. I am waiting for an appointment with Legal Aid to help me cope with this issue and debt issues.
I am on social security solely. I have some outstanding debts that I am paying back, but find myself without any money at end of month. Ive told the collection places that the only money I have is my ss. Can they still demand payment
Of course they can; you owe the money...being on SS does not change that fact. You are within your rights to pay what you can (or not at all), and they are within their rights to sue you for payment (which they may not do, if the debt is for a relatively low amount and/or they do not believe they would be able to collect from a judgment).
You can, however, send them a letter demanding that they only contact you through the mail, i.e., to not call you anymore.
If your debts are too much of a burden, you may also seek relief through bankruptcy, or attempt consolidation or settlement.
Well if you owe the money and it is legit then they will ask for a pay back. Consolidation can be an easy option. If nothing works go for a settlement. This will atleast wave off your interests and extra fees and charges. If nothing works at all you will be left with nothing but bankruptcy to file.
i was placed on probation in 1997 and have a restitution of 486.000.000 and have not made a payment in 18 years can the dept of treasuary garnish mt ssdi money?
YES, SSDI checks can be garnished, but only if the debt is a Federally backed loan (student loans) or Federal taxes.
The amount is capped at 15%. But I'm still trying to find out if that 15% is per each debt or total. Hoping it's in total.
As to accepting settlement agreements...that's a joke for most people on SSDI. When you get to the point of needing SSDI in the first place, well, most people anyway, you're already wrecked financially and can barely afford food. I entered a repayment agreement with Windham for my student loans, paid on time for almost a year and then they turned around and attached my SSDI check for an additional amount. That in turn caused me to not be able to pay other bills. So, I stopped paying them. If they're going to attach me anyway I might as well let it be applied to the 15%.
My son receives SSDI, he is mentally ill. He was married and was divorced a year ago. There is a auto loan involved, in which my ex daughter in law is the one that purchased the auto and my son is a co-signer. She has recently filled bankrupty including this loan. Can they go after my sons SSDI for repayment of this loan? Also he was on SSDI went the loan was first signed.

Should you date the children ex?
By tradition and by meeting, you mustn't date your friend's ex partner. This tradition is to show that you support your friend's decision to break up with his/her partner. think the length, i recommend you give it a few weeks before dating your friend's ex partner. Doing so straight after the break up can look un supportive and may give your friend thoughts of jealousy, probably risking your friendship. ( Full resolution )
Should you date buddies sibling?
I'd be very careful because if people aren't mature enough it can turn nasty if it doesn't work out. My older brother (23) Went out with my mate (17) and he was more into her than she was into him. He would ring up and listen to that she was at my house and come over. He'd be upset and I'd be torn between boosting the two. 14 days after the first day of your last period. You have 3 days to shag oneself silly and hope it works. I'm on the moment dating a guy that is my friend's older brother. I am fine with it since I get to spend time with her and she is fine with it as far as I know. His family loves me and my family loves him. My situation for dating your friends sibling worked out and we are looking ahead into the future for the both of us. We have known each other for 3 years and started out as friends restoration get a relationship. I trust the first answer also. ( Full cure )
If a guy likes you but you're not sure all about those feelings should you date him?
It depends. If he can be nice to date him, And you either haven't dated before or prefer to see how it would work out with him, Then go on and date him. If it's true, Say yes. If less, sadly,the fact is that, have said no. If your are stuck in the middle, primarily say yes! It didn't hurt one bit (in theory speaking), And it always feels nice dating a person who likes you, particularly if like him. you might even start to crush on him. wouldn't that be even better? But you won't know until you try, So go on the web girl! ( Full answer to that question ).
