    Collection agency owes me money
    A collection agency received a judgement against a person with a similar name as mine. They garnished money from my paycheck until I proved my identity and the fact that I never had an account with their client. They stopped the garnishment. The collection agency promised to return my money but now they ignore my phone calls and letters. What can I do to get my money back?

    Hello j:

    I guess you'll have to sue 'em.

    Yes, send them a certified letter , and one regular, giving them perhaps 10 days to pay you in full, or you will proceed with legal action. Also your employer may also be liable to pay you back, the garnishment should have shown the social security number on it, and if your HR did not check, and they took it out wrongly.
