Told Not to Attend Court After Payment, Then Wages Garnished

I was about 36 days behind, and I had called and told them I would be in at the end of the month. One morning I went into work and a policeman was there to serve me a summons to appear in court. I immediately called Citifinancial and asked Sonya what was going on. She told me that if I came into the store and made my payment, it would be dropped. I went into the store that Thursday and made my payment, and she gave me a deferment, which would make me due for October. I went in and made my October payment as usual. She told me everything was taken care of and that I did not need to go to court. So I did not. The next thing I knew, a policeman came to my office with a garnishment of my pay. She knew this would get me fired. She lied to me, and when confronted she asked me why I did not go to court. I told her it was because she told me not to. She said her boss told her there was nothing she could do, but she did not bother to call me.

Sonya was trying to get back at me for turning her in to her company for going into my checking account twice and making an unauthorized debit once on an account that had been closed for years. I also lodged a complaint against her for calling my job and talking to my CSR and telling her about my account, and for trying to get information about my pay, where she could call my payroll and deduct the money from my pay, and also trying to get my boss's name and phone number to call him. She did this to me as a witch hunt, and I am at this time looking for a lawyer to file a suit against this company.

I have had this account for around 20 years, and she has ruined my life over an account that was not close to 60 days past due. She has ruined my job, my marriage and my life for no good reason.
