| I had a judgement entered on a credit card debt and arranged payments, I sent checking info (stupid), they never withdrew the funds but filed a garnishment on my bank accounts which has totally frozen my business (I am self-employed). I filed for a hearing stating the funds were necessary for my ability to make a living. No respose from court yet. Is there anything else I can do? I can not find a lawyer in town that will take my case, they either do only bankruptcy or do not do consumer law. |

| You will need to go to your local district courthouse and file the necessary papers to stop Wage garnishment. There is a nominal fee but it is fairly easy to do and can be done without an attorney. Good Luck! |

If the judgment states that your your wages are to be garnished you cannot really stop them from doing the needful. But there are three ways by which you can stop a garnishment.
1) Pay the full amount due within 10 days from the date of judgment. Pay it to the clerk's office who will give you a receipt which you need to give to your employer. Your garnishment can be stopped.
2) Make a written agreement with the one who sued you or their lawyer and try to agree onto an amount that will let you pay an affordable sum on a weekly or monthly basis. If both agree they can ask the clerk to make the agreement in writing to stop the garnishment.
3) File a Slow-Pay motion. you dont need a lawyer for this. Its a paper thats asks the judge to grant permission to make a slower payment which allows you to pay of other bills as well. But you need to get an OK from the judge to stop the garnishment.
Speak to the Court clerk's office they will help you out.

| I have a wage garnishment for my credit card debt. Am I not supposed to be served with notice to appear before some obscure third party credit can come an garnish my wages? |

that depends on what the wage garnishment is for, if it is a tax garnishment, I have had them garnish my pay with no warning.

Well my pay roll department sent me a letter about three days before it happened, with taxes or child support you can not stop this from happening.

Nope, I sent them a letter that said, show me all the bills in detail and have never heard from them. They did leave messages on my machine, but I made it very clear that I wanted it in writing so I did not pick up the phone or return their calls.
If you can not enforce it acros the board, then don't bother me. I have not heard from them in a long time.

| This is great. It was probaly something that could not be truly enforces, kind of like when a debt collector buys junk debt. I had heard at one time people saying once you sin=gned it or made a payment that was when they could go after you. So maybe it is best that you went the route you did. |

| There are at least two methods of removing an IRS wage garnishment. One is to make an arrangement with the IRS. You can do this yourself through the use of an offer in compromise. Or, you can hire a tax attorney to negotiate an arrangement with the IRS on your behalf. Another method is to do a fair amount of research into your case, and others like it, to find instances where the IRS has violated proper procedure in their dealings with you. |

| I have heard at different times that getting an atty is usually for the best when dealing with the IRS. Sometimes they can get the debt really cut down and like you said in your post mirage sometimes they find out the IRS handled things improperly and got it relieved all together. |
