Wage garnishments and collections
in Law ·
Hey, quick question. So, I just got hit with a garnishment notice from my cell provider, and there's no way I can pay it up within the next 8 days because my first actual paycheck doesn't hit until a week after that deadline. I’m not even trying to fight the actual debt—I know I owe them and I fully intend to pay up—it's just that my money hasn't cleared yet... But on top of all that, these collection fees seem absolutely insane, $475 especially for a debt under $2,500. Am I totally missing something here? Should I try to contest the extra fees, or am I just gonna end up making the whole mess even more expensive for myself? Thanks for any help!
