Wage garnishments and collections
in Law ·
Hi,
About a year ago, I
received an enforcement order based on an affidavit from a notary public.
The affidavit in question is a contract I signed with an educational institution.
It turns out later that the contract wasn't even drafted in the legally required format.
How is it even possible for a notary to issue an enforcement order if the underlying contract isn't in the proper legal form—meaning, it’s essentially void?
When issuing an order like this, isn't the notary obligated to verify that the contract actually meets all the statutory requirements?
edit: I filed an objection, and my first hearing is scheduled for next week.
