I am hoping not to have to file Bankruptcy but I just received a writ of garnishment in the mail. 25% of my wages.
The debt was in Colorado.
I live in Texas, My Corporate Headquarters is in Texas. We are a division of a larger company that handles our payroll from Masschusetts. That Payroll dept informed me they will be withholding the 25% effective immediately.
My confusion is I thought Texas was a non garnishment state. We have a small office in Colorado but its not a part of my company I do work for so I only know of its existence.
Is that enough jurisdiction for the Colorado Court to order my Texas wages garnished?
summary:
debt from CO
My residence is TX
My company HQ is TX
but my company does have offices in CO and Amsterdam but I have never set foot in either one of them.
my questions: ( thanks in advance )
1. Can they do this
2. if Not, but Since they already began process with my payroll who says they need another court order to NOT do it, how do I go about that? tx lawyer, co lawyer, just contact the court?
miscellaneous: I never received a notice of Judgement, only got a copy of the garnishment writ through my payroll.
