Wage garnishments and collections
in Law ·
My lawyer in this loan dispute missed the deadline for filing the complaint, and he didn't even bother to let me know until after the window had closed.
Honestly, I need some serious advice and help here because I have absolutely no one else to turn to.
In the case against my husband, they’re claiming he borrowed money from a late sister of an acquaintance, which is a total lie. Of course, there’s zero evidence—no documentation, no witnesses, nothing. But based on the JUDGE'S perception, since we are younger and the plaintiff is older, someone is lying and we’re the ones being blamed. We just had our car seized, which is worth $2333, and my husband’s job requires him to travel with it. My mind is racing wondering what they’ll come after next—the fridge? The washing machine? Or will they go after our kid?
I am completely reeling from this entire legal process and the judgment. We live just outside of St. Louis and desperately need guidance.
Is seizing a vehicle that was still being paid off under American law actually legal, especially since they can't collect this debt through a bank account? What should my next move be? What are they legally allowed to seize from inside a house? Is there any legal way to prevent these seizures? Because honestly, aside from basic appliances, a parrot, and our dog, they don't have anything left to take.
