Hello,
I had my bank account restrained by a debt collector erroneously. They went to court and got a judgement against me, and from that point on I lost my account (late September). I contacted my lawyer, and from that point on (early October) he was going back and forth with the collection lawyers. My lawyer went to court this month (December) and got a order to vacate the judgement. Yesterday (12/19) I recieved a letter from my employer stating that the city Marshal is going to garnish my wages within 20 days of the date of the letter. It looks like on 11/12 the debt collectors sent my account for garnishment, which falls between the time my lawyer was in contact (via phone and fax) with the debt lawyers. Were they allowed to do that?

There is no need to be rude, of course I checked with my lawyer. Forgive me for wanting opinions from people that may have went through this.
Thank you anyway for your answers.

Definitely check with your lawyer but if the judgment was actually vacated, the collector no longer has a legal right to garnish anything.

You have a REAL lawyer, why not ask him instead of a bunch of amateurs on here, the VAST majority of which have little clue to how the legal system actually functions
