Question
Hello,
I am in Maryland. I recently received a notice from the District court here stating that a law firm, P&A, had a Writ of Garnishment of property not Wages, from a suit that was apparently filed April 2003. It was a credit card, unpaid, for $200. The writ of garnishment went to a bank I haven't used in several years. They apparently haven't found my bank I use now, and I don't really have any assets for them to seize, except my be my vehicle, but that is in my wife's name as well as mine. I contacted the law firm about this, asking for proof of debt, and was told very rudely, that they didn't have to furnish proof, as the judgement has been awarded. I never received the original summons, but at the time I was moving around a lot. So I guess my question is A. Do they have to provide Proof of Debt after being awarded judgment, and B. Do I have any recourse for this.
Dave,
They don't have to provide proof of debt after a judgment has been awarded. Your recourse is slim. You may want to contact an Attorney in Maryland, or pay off the debt. It's going to be cheaper to pay off the debt. I can't believe you have this order over a 200.00 debt.
Good Luck
Eddie
