tretower Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 :stress: :tired: :urgh: I do not know where to start???Ok (this may be long) I had surgery in Oct of "99" , I had a gallbladder attack which had to be removed (4 days before our health insurance was active) any way I told the hosp. about my insurance problem.they said don't worry aboutit after pumping with pain medication told me ,I needed this procedure that was going to be done. Anyway when I went to the doctors for my check up he told me it could have waited 4 days,Well $15,000.00 dollars later it was to late. After making attempts to pay ,it got sent into collections and then judgement and now garnishing my husbands wages, who works for the county and makes not much more than that yearly. I have no idea what to do about this???????IS THERE ANYTHING!!!?????? Another thing I had a car repo in 1990, all the sudden I recieved a letter stating they are going to garnish my wages????Oh on the first story I was a stay home mom thats why they went after my husband....HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlava73 Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Is there a judgement on the Repo? I would start there trying to find out what exactlyhas been done with that. If there is no judgement for the repo you should startpreventative measures to protect your creditrating and look up the Statue of Limitationsfor your state. You can find it on this site.If it is expired they cannot sue you and theyare in violation of FDCPA by telling you theycan garnish without a judgement. Read up on Validation, there is a wealth of info here onthe site. If I were you I would start by pulling your credit reports from all 3 major Bureaus. Since I don't know much about judgements only the little I have read, I can't advise in that respect. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Yes, the judgment should have shown on your credit report. However, it may rear its ugly head when your title company does a search for public records...be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
