Do you have to go to court to get wages garnished from someone?

Go back to the court. Pay them 20 dollars or so, and garnshee his paycheck. and/or Freeze his checking/saving accounts at all banks.

to garnish money from your pay, they have to have a court order. They are allowed to give out to the public any true facts requarding the court case,

So as long as what they told your boss is true, there is nothing you can do about that.

Now the employer can not take the money withouit your approval without a court order or garnishment, now this person can get it very easy

yes you can pay the perosn the money you owe, you could agree with your company to go ahead and pay a certain amount to this person each paycheck,

Besides that they have not broken the law, merley asked your company to do something they can't do, They will have to go back to court and get the garnishment ( they already have the judgement)

So instead of "saving up" why were you not paying them weekely on it

If he does go back and gets a real garnishment, they will get at least 25 percent of the pay, so can you live without that, I would work out a payment plan fast.

Since the court case is a matter of public record, you have no recourse for the plaintiff having notified his employer. There are no privacy issues here at all; it is a PUBLIC matter now!

The plaintiff may or may not need to return to court for a garnishment judgement. Check with an attorney or the court clerk on this.

If you are not making payments to the plaintiff (you can often arrange this through the court clerk's office) then they can file again with the court and you could be brought up on contempt of court charges.

Don't "save" to pay this off. Send whatever you can to the plaintiff to prove your intent to settle this matter. If he goes back to court, you could be in a world of hurt. Making payments, however small, will show the court that you are trying to resolve this issue.

First, once it went to court, it became public.

Garnishments can be handled by several means, some court ordered, some not. Garnishments are to be based on income, and can be a lot of your check.

If no payment schedule was spelled out in the court papers, then he can probably do what he did, and ask your employer.

Why don't you just make a $10.00 payment per week? 50 weeks would be the 500$, and no interest would be added.

The person who won the case can petition the court to garnish your husband's wages.

The fact that his employer got a request to garnish wages is not sufficient to make him do it -he has to have a court order to garnish the wages.

I doubt you can do anything about the person faxing information to your husband's boss, unless you can prove that he had harmful intent. Since he includes a request for garnishment, it appears he's just trying to recover your husband's debt.

My recommendation would be to start making payments to him, showing a good faith effort to satisfy the debt. I'd imagine this guy is getting frustrated, thinking you aren't going to pay him at all.

The person already has a judgement against you, and is now allowed to get his money. If you aren't paying, he can send the paperwork telling of the judgement to the employer in order to get money garnished.

You should have tried to arrange a payment plan after you lost in court. Too late for that now.

This is too important to let someone who may not know the law in your area to answer. Lots of attorneys will give you a consultation for free. That's who you should be asking. Who knows ... maybe you can sue for violation of privacy and not have to pay the $500. You really need to ask an attorney.

certain that is and it befell to me 12 years in the past or so. I had to take paycheck stubs to the courtroom and teach it changed into taken out. They in turn had to deliver the corporation an licensed letter to enable them comprehend they could be violation of courtroom order and be sued by using both me and the courtroom. They despatched a examine to the courtroom in 3 days. that is fraud. once you've data on your examine stubs call the courtroom and tell them you may fax them to the courtroom. this can save your butt.

yes, you need alawyer
