Last summer my mother who I rarely speak to, and with whom I have never lived, dropped off court documents she had received at her home pertaining to me. It was a judgement that had already been made against me to garnish my wages.
I had never been served with nor received a summons, I had no knowledge of this court date and now my wages were going to be garnished.
I got on the computer to find out my rights and what I should do.
I immediately sent a letter to the attorney general about the sewer service tactic they used on me, how I have never lived at my mothers address nor received mail there, the debt they were collecting on was way more then the original debt and it was way passed the statute of limitations.
I also filed an order to show cause, stating pretty much what i said to the attorney general. I sent one notarized via certified mail to the court and one notarized via certified mail to Cohen and Slamowitz.
I spoke with a woman at the court and she confirmed they received the letter, and that put a freeze on my wages being garnished.
Then I waited a few months and never heard anything in response to my order to show cause. I called the court the woman I spoke with before told me they sent out a notice to Cohen and Slamowitz twice and never got a response so they closed the case. This was last November.
Today my mother brings me another wage garnishment statement for the same judgement from last year. The same judgement I filed an order to show cause and heard nothing back from. The same judgement I disputed due to sewer service, and they sent it to my mothers house... Again. I have the recepts from the certified letter's I sent to the court and Cohen and Slamowitz with my actual address, where I have lived for twenty plus years.
What do I do? Is this a court mistake? They never responded to my order to show cause. I'm calling the court tomorrow, but today is Sunday, and I can't do anything about it. Any advice would help me greatly.
