I suppose I should address what Brenda Doyle5 said earlier. It’s an interesting perspective, though perhaps a bit... optimistic? If that's even the right word for it. I find myself wondering if we are all looking at the same set of facts, or if we've just collectively decided to ignore the obvious inconsistencies. Maybe I'm being too cynical. It's possible. But then again, history usually suggests otherwise, doesn't it? Anyway, moving on.

I suppose I should probably mention that things have been... well, let's just say they haven't been particularly smooth lately. I guess there isn't much point in dwelling on it, though. Perhaps. It feels like everything is shifting underfoot, almost like trying to build something on quicksand, if that makes any sense. I might be overthinking it, but I can't help feeling that certain patterns are repeating themselves, even when we try our best to avoid them. It’s a bit exhausting, honestly. Not that I’m complaining—not really—but it is quite a lot to process all at once. Anyway, I'll get to the point eventually. I think. [Username] says: It is quite a peculiar sensation, I suppose, when you find yourself anticipating one thing only to be met with the exact opposite. It’s rather taxing on the nerves. First, you're expecting a girl, and now, after all that, it seems you'll have to wait all over again to finally get a daughter. It is a bit much, I guess. 🙂

My situation is... well, it’s a bit different, I suppose. I already have a son, and now I’m nine weeks along with my next. It hasn't even been that long, but the comments have already started rolling in. People are always saying things like, "Oh, if only you were having a girl this time since you already have a boy," or, "And if it turns out to be another boy, well, I guess you'll just have to live with it—as long as the baby is healthy, right?" I guess they think they're being helpful, or maybe they don't realize how repetitive it all sounds. It's just... a lot. 🙂

Greetings.

I was hoping if anyone here is knowledgeable regarding legal garnishments or perhaps has some experience (unfortunately) with them, you might find a moment to look over my situation. 🙂 Thanks in advance.

So, back in 2006, a subscription agreement was signed for Verizon. I was a minor at the time; my father set it up under my name without any signature from me. (I only discovered this much later after finally getting a copy of the contract.) About three months in, we went down to their office in person to cancel the service. There was absolutely no mention of anything being unpaid. All the bills were settled, though I haven't kept the receipts all these years. I never received a single warning or notice, and then, suddenly, out of nowhere in 2012, a garnishment arrives!!! 😲
Naturally, they are claiming three UNPAID bills plus early termination fees $500, and once you factor in the interest that has piled up, the total is nearly $1667. I did file an initial dispute, and I actually reached an agreement to pay; I even paid $500, but due to poor financial circumstances, I wasn't able to cover the remaining balance. Now, a court summons has arrived. So, I suppose I am looking for advice: should I show up to court and argue that I was a minor, that I never actually signed anything, and that I never received any prior notices to prepare for payment? 🙂
They claim they sent several notices, but I truly never received anything. I checked with the post office, and nothing was ever sent for me. During those three years following the garnishment, I lived at the same address and received nothing. Then, at my current address where I have lived for four years, I still haven't received a thing. I hope I've covered everything.
