I was a commission sales rep and paid someone half of my commission on a sale that he made but i closed becuase he left the company. I was doing a nice thing. He now is saying that I owe him $250 more dollars and is threatening to garnish my wages because we had an agreement. There is nothing in writing, it was all verbal and I paid him half. I have the cancelled check but nothing that proves how much i was paid on it.

He can sue you for breach of contract. He cannot individually garnish your wages in most states because it has been determined to be unconstitutional. Wage garnishment is reserved for child support and the payment of federal loans and taxes, generally speaking. By the way, if the total amount was less than $500, then he has no problem with the statute of frauds; doesn't have to be in writing.

He can't do a damn thing without a court order. Furthermore, with that small amount of money it would only be small claims court--they do not order garnishment of wages in small claims court. In fact, it is not well known, but there is no enforcement of judgments made in small claims court. Don't worry. He can't do anything to you.
