Wage garnishments and collections in Law ·
Now I’m just completely lost.

1) I spoke with my family attorney, and she gave me the exact same answer as brisklynx47.
2) I also talked to the judge who issued the stay of execution—he told me to just send them an email stating I won't be paying because any bills older than three years are past the statute of limitations. Basically, tell them to get lost. He said if they try to file a new seizure motion, I should appeal it and demand it be dismissed entirely based on that statute of limitations.
3) Meanwhile, the lawyer handling my other legal matters says they're powerless since the specific case they're citing was already closed by the stay. She thinks it's all just a bluff and told me to sit tight and do absolutely nothing.
4) Then I stumbled upon this thread:

Who is actually right here??? How can there be this many different interpretations of the law? It's maddening.
Wage garnishments and collections in Law ·
Hi experts 🙂

I just received a letter from the law firm Microsoft stating they’re initiating an enforcement proceeding against me regarding case no. abc/03 (from back in 2003). Apparently, their client, AT&T, gave them strict orders to push forward with the collection process.

Here’s the catch. I actually have a court order, abc/03-xx, dated 2006, which officially stayed the entire enforcement proceeding.

I spoke with the folks at Microsoft, and they’re hinting that they will likely reopen the case.

So, I have a few questions:
1) Is this even legal? (The letter cites case abc/03, which was already halted by the court order abc/03-xx)
2) Can they actually start a NEW enforcement action for a debt that’s ten years old? (What about the statute of limitations?)
3) In the previous filing, the seizure was set for: 1) the debtor's personal property—specifically, any movable assets currently in the debtor's possession... and 2) the debtor's monetary claims—meaning a garnishment of 1/3 of the debtor's wages or pension.

Thanks to all you kind souls for any help you can provide.

Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice? in Health ·
Last night, after a rough trip to the bathroom, an external hemorrhoid flared up and hurt like absolute hell.
Since I have supplemental coverage through my insurance provider, I called them first thing this morning at 7:56 AM to explain the situation.
By around 10:00, they called me back and told me they’d managed to squeeze me in for a specialist appointment with a proctologist at 1:00 PM today!!!

I showed up for the appointment at 1:00 PM, was checked in by 1:05 PM, and by 1:15 PM, the doctor informed me that surgery was urgent because, besides that painful external one, I have internal ones that are bleeding.
By 1:35 PM, I was walking out of that doctor's office having had the hemorrhoids removed. I paid $267 for that "pleasure" and couldn't help thinking, "What an idiot—why didn't I just get this done eight years ago when the procedure is so painless?" (The only part that actually stung was when the doctor administered four injections of Lidocaine for the local anesthesia)

It's now 8:11 PM, and for the last three and a half hours, I've been cursing myself for even going to that damn proctologist. The local anesthesia has worn off, and honestly, I'm not even sure if I can fart, pee, or poop right now :S

Anyway, I'll check back in with updates once the pain subsides.

If anyone wants details about the surgeon who performed the operation or how the actual procedure went, feel free to shoot me a PM.
