Wage garnishments and collections
in Law ·
Here is the situation I am facing.
While we were still married, my ex-husband used to drive my father's car. About six months after our divorce, my father had his bank account frozen due to a garnishment resulting from an improper parking fine back in 2011. They seized $733 from him. My ex-husband is actually responsible for these fines; he even admitted it at the time and took the paperwork, promising, "I'll take care of this." Of course, he never did. Today, my father had another $500 snatched via garnishment because of unpaid two-day parking permits from that same year in 2011.
I realize technically it is my father's mistake since the vehicle is registered in his name and he is legally responsible. He even pointed this out to my ex-husband during a heated argument a few months ago. My ex just told him he wouldn't reimburse him because the car isn't in his name and it simply isn't his problem.
Is there anything at all that can be done regarding this matter, and if so, how? This has been dragging on for $1233, and heaven knows if this is the last of his reckless parking habits. Thank you all for your help.
