Credit history/garnishment

well sure many employers do run a credit check, but this is "extenuating circumstances"... you could not foresee the medical bills, or garnishment. for the time being, i really wouldn't sweat this too much. if you are ever denied a job, and it is due to your credit, the company by law, MUST send you a copy of the credit background checking service. from there you can make phone calls, emails, whatever. but relax a bit, you're making me nervous.

 

You might want to check your state laws on paying creditors, I know some states have them written in such a way that if the company cashes a check, then they must consider the payment made even if it's for less then the amount due and as long as your doing that they shouldn't be able to garnish you, but like I said do your research, and always ask a lawyer

 

they can't garnish your income if you have none !!!

Call, you should be able to work this out !!

 

The garnishment thing is so recent I would recommend applying everywhere you want right now, the sooner the better before it hits the credit reporting.

 

I think this is the least of your problems, going after your lost wages should be front and center.
