Is it legal to have a weekly wage garnishment and a quarterly bank levy on the same account at the same time?

I'll fess up my wife had reconstructive breast surgery last year and we fell behind. One secured line of credit went to a collections agency (name withheld) and we have just completed payment.

But during the payback cycle, they used both a weekly wage garnishment and quarterly bank levies at the same time. This caused all kinds of problems with extra bank fees and check bounces. I could live with one hit but two?

I need to know if this is legal.

Talk to a lawyer and tell him to contest the garnishment. You can get it reduced.
