Re: Debt collection

Your fiance should send written notice to the landlord that his name was illegally added to the lease without his authorization and that the garnishment must be released immediatedly and any monies withheld under the garnishment returned to him. If the landlord refuses or fails to comply, then your fiance must take the matter up with the general district court which issued the garnishment(requesting a hearing if necessary).
