Wage garnishments and collections
in Law ·
Greetings, everyone. I am reaching out because I could really use some guidance regarding a situation I've found myself in.
I recently received a formal notice of garnishment due to an outstanding balance for my municipal utility fees, which totals $23. According to the document, I have a strict 15-day window to settle this debt, and it specifies that the additional legal enforcement costs amount to $67. My question is quite specific: if I manage to pay off the primary debt in full within that designated timeframe, will I still be held liable for those extra $67 in fees?
Thank you very much for any insight you can provide.
