Stop student loan wage garnishments.
Friday, June 26th, 2009I recently defaulted on my student loan and contacted the student loan company before they started garnishing my wages. I agreed to a reasonable monthly payment and made the payments on time when I noticed that my wages were being garnished as well.
I contacted the student loan company several times and they kept saying that they would remove the garnishment and that my employer had recieved the paperwork.
I contacted my employer’s payroll and they stated that they never got the paperwork and I should ask for a copy myself to fax it in myself just in case.
The student loan company wouldnt give me a copy of the garnishment letter they had sent my employer and claimed to have faxed the paperwork in.
It has been 4 straight pay periods and nothing has been done, meanwhile I’m still making monthly payments directly from my bank account.
Is there anyway to stop this?
PS: I dont need smart remarks about “you should have paid in the first place”, i know that much but i couldn’t afford to at certain points.
