I know, but maybe someone else here has dealt with something similar, or had a situation like this... I figured I'd ask, since it doesn't cost me anything to try—and who knows, maybe someone actually understands how to navigate this from a legal standpoint... 🤷
So, I just got hit with a garnishment notice—well, it's actually directed at my husband. The weird part is, the address listed on the paperwork is one he was never even registered at. Back then, we weren't even living together yet; I was the one registered at that specific address when the notice arrived, while he was living somewhere else entirely—on the other side of town, actually. And apparently, this whole thing is over some old subscription with an American media network.
The period they’re looking at is from January through June of 2012—but I moved out of that address back in September 2011. And again, just to be clear, he was NEVER registered there. I mean, how is that even possible? I have an eight-day window to pay almost $333, or they’re just going to freeze his bank account. How do I fix this? I've been calling the media company all day, and I tried reaching out to that law firm—Skadden, Arps—but of course, I can't get anyone on the line!! I even reached out to a consumer protection group, but they just told me to call back on Monday. I'll do that, obviously, but honestly, I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown before Monday rolls around.🙂
Can anyone help me out here? Is there any actual chance of getting this sorted?
