Re: collection agencies

Only a lawyer can start an action that can result in a judgment. Only if a judgment is entered can a wage garnishment be placed.

A collection agency can not do either.

It is a scare tactic which is in violated of the Fair debt and Collection Law.

If this was done, contact me and we can start a lawsuit against the collection agency.
