I hope that you will see a consumer lawyer first and not lay done in the case. We win a substantial number of these cases and fees are paid by the collection company many times. See my site under garnishment to see what can be done. Want to know the law?

If they filed the papers correctly, then they can request that you complete a Fact Information Sheet and if you do not respond, which is why bad things happen, they will file a contempt notice, can have you brought to court under a Writ of Attachment, have you placed in jail, make you put a bond for the amount owed, take your car, particuarly if you have two because only one would be exempt, go after your checking savings bonds, wages etc.
