Wage garnishments and collections
in Law ·
So, I totally blanked on paying my trash collection fees for March, April, and May, but after that, I was back on track and paid everything right on time. Suddenly, I get hit with a formal "notice of intent to garnish wages" $293 —$87 basically an outstanding balance owed to the sanitation department and, apparently, a discrepancy $227 that someone at the local courthouse decided to take notice of.
I didn't waste any time, though; I settled the full debt immediately and emailed the payment confirmation to both the sanitation department and the clerk's office. But then, out of nowhere, I get an email from the court stating that I still owe money because, and I quote, "Furthermore, the costs of legal enforcement and statutory interest have not been satisfied.
Consequently, please remit your remaining debt in the amount of $45.20."
Then, just as if things weren't confusing enough, the sanitation department sends me a nearly identical letter with that exact same figure. Now I’m sitting here wondering where the difference from $227 went, why on earth I'm suddenly being asked for $107, and whether I actually have to pay this court official since I never even requested their services or used them for anything
If anyone has a bit of wisdom or knows how these things usually play out, I'd really appreciate the help.
