A friend once said to me, “If you ever feel like no one notices you, stop paying your bills”. While we would definitely not recommend that you stop paying your bills, the idea behind his comical advice is sound. If you stop paying your bills, your bill collectors are going to come knocking. If you don’t make contact with a bill collector when you are behind on a payment, they may do worse than annoy you with constant phone calls, they may go after your wages.
Wage garnishment is when someone to whom you owe money legally has it taken from your paycheck. This can be done from almost anyone who you owe money to. If you owe money on a student loan, child support, back taxes, credit card companies, loan companies, and more. The garnishment is handled by your employer or if they outsource to a company like Vision H.R., an experienced outsourcing Daytona Beach payroll company, and are deducted from your disposable income, meaning whatever is left after the normal deductions that are taken out of your check, such as social security. Luckily however, there are rules and limitations when it comes to companies placing a wage garnishment against you, as we will

When it comes to something that deals with the court, or government, a court order is often times not needed. For example, if you do your yearly taxes and end up having to pay money back, yet chose not to, the government can garnish your wages. If you owe child support, and similarly chose not to pay them, the court can garnish your wages without a court order. Finally, student loans have to be paid in a timely manner, or the company that gave you the loan can garnish your wages. Other creditors, such as loan companies or credit card companies, have to go through the court before placing a garnish on your wages. This can also include medical bills that have built up over
The Georgia Voluntary Payment Doctrine is a policy that has been used in Georgia law since the 19th Century. It has been exercised so long that this policy has codified a statute. Because it dates back two centuries when business deals were completed on one’s word, face-to-face and with a hand shake, it causes one to question if it has outdated itself and should still be used to decide court cases in today’s business world. According to Dan Kolber of the Atlanta Business Chronicle, “the statute says when money is paid "through ignorance of the law" and there is no fraud or mistake of facts, then the payment is deemed voluntary and cannot be recovered. Filing a protest at the time of payment does not

Even after a child support payment is ordered by the courts, it can be difficult for many clients to actually collect the funds owed to them. There are a variety of actions that can be taken in order to obtain the financial support from a parent that has been ordered by the court, including repeated suits, wage garnishments that can be implemented by the products, and a few other avenues that can be pursued. One of the measures allowed for by law that is sometimes more lengthy to employ and to fully implement, but that tends to have very positive results in many cases is the use of a lien. Liens can be placed on valuable goods, property, and financial accounts that prevent the use of funds or the sale or transfer of goods when moneys are still owed on child support payments. While not effective in all situations, if the parent that is failing to make their child support payments has significant valuable property or accounts, liens can prove a very effective way of receiving back payments of moneys owed and of ensuring more timely and regular payments in the future.

Whether consumers are attempting to handle their debts or not, there is a time period in which lawsuits can be filed and collection attempts can be made. This period is known as the Statute of Limitations and is different in every state of the U.S. However, under this law, debts cannot be collected, sued for, or otherwise sought to be paid by creditors or collectors after this period has expired. Some states offer as little as four years, while others will go up to 15 years or more depending on the type of debt and the state regulations. Collection agencies do not adhere to the same Statute of Limitations as lawsuits, and consumers will have to refer to the Fair Debt Collection

Introduction Welfare in the United States began in the 1930’s during the great depression, in order to respond to the alarming number of families needing aid. Welfare gave money to the families or individuals with an income of little to nothing. When hearing about welfare, it sounds like a great idea, but with all great things comes people who take advantage of them. Through my research I have learned of the many ways that people have abused the system, and today I am here to propose a solution to one of the ways I believe we can stop this abuse.

They say student loans are the “Good kind of loans.” When in all reality, any loan is not a good loan. Many students that take out loans to go to college, won't be able to make their student loan payment every month. The total estimated student loan debt in our country is one trillion dollars, the companies that are lending the money are making bank on students taking out loans for college. If this is what people consider to be normal, do you want to be normal? They say paying for knowledge, getting that higher degree, will enable you to get a better wage; so getting a loan now, is a small price to pay. So let’s say you take out a $70,000 loan, and you complete college, you apply for the carrier that you worked for. Your starting salary is $30,000
