Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

Crocked attorney

Short but with details. In Nov 1999 ex attorney file judgment for money already paid, but because we were unable to find records in time he won judgment. July 2006 this attorney files a garnishment for 1261.00 (original amount) plus 794.00 (for interest) 28.00 (for judgment cost) 72.00 (for garnishment fees) he puts balance as $7,156.00. Payroll office takes 488.00 out of check. Judge tells this attorney to re file because the balance is wrong. Sept 11 2006 another summons for garnishment. Amount judgment�1261.00, interest 794.00, 28.00 judgment cost 147.00 garnishment fees, only credit given was for 88.00. At this hearing he tells judge he never receives money. Court has the money (another 488.00 from payroll total taken from pay check 976.00).

Judge set a new hearing date because we bring in records to show he was paid way back in 1999. Today received new summons for (court date 11/27/2006) judgment�1261.00, interest�794.00, judgment cost 28.00 and garnishment fees 219.00. Total 2302.00 credits given 976.00.How can this attorney file again when there is a date pending (Oct 2, 2006).Also how can he raise the garnishment fees to 219.00. Isn�t there a motion that we could file to dismiss the case for 11/27/2006?

You will need to find your own attorney and sue the first attorney for unlawful debt collection practices. Keep looking if you don't find one right away.
