Wage garnishments and collections
in Law ·
So, I wanted to check in... I was feeling incredibly anxious about this, so I headed down to Goldman Sachs to see if there were any outstanding debts or anything similar on my record. The representative at the branch explained that they haven't actually received the official notice regarding the garnishment yet. They can't really initiate the collection process or freeze my account unless they get that formal notification from the collector—and even then, they can only act if there isn't enough money in the account to cover the debt.
Basically, my best move right now is to reach out to a notary to see if I can negotiate a payment plan, especially if we're talking about a significant amount.
Now, the big question is: will they actually agree to that?
I did some digging for a second opinion, and it turns out direct collections like this have only been possible following certain court rulings passed in October 2012. Since mine dates back to 2010, things might be different.
I also received some advice to head to the local courthouse to find out exactly why and when the enforcement process was put on hold...
I'm waiting until tomorrow to decide my next step. Should I go to the courthouse first, or should I just call the notary immediately and try to settle on an installment plan?
