    Income execution Nassau county
    I received an income execution letter in the mail today from Nassau county sheriffs department. It was from cach llc in the total amount of $5,783 (from a $3,000 credit card bill) last time I made a payment on that account was in 2005 and it states the judgement date was entered August of 2010. I have to pay 10% of my income within 20 days or they will serve my employer. Do I have any other options or do I just have to pay it? Please help! Thank you!

    Was the debt filed within the proper time limit in court ? Was there a proper court hearing and judgement at the courthouse.

    Why are they asking you to pay it direct and not merely serving it on your work place? That is the strange part.

    Are you sure the sheriff office actually served it ?

    It may be worth having an attorney look at it, and see if it is all legal.

    It was on sherriff letterhead. I have 20 days to pay myself or they
    Contact employer. From what I read on Internet that is how it works? How would I know if there was a hearing and judgement? I never got anything. Do I just need to go to the court?

    You don't have to 'get' anything, especially if you moved. A lot of people got judgments during the recession of '07-08 due to being hit hard financially.
    I take it that you admit you just didn't pay the 3,000. The rest is legal fees and interest.

    First find out of the sheriff really sent it and what they have for documentation.

    It looks to me that the sheriff is trying to save the OP the embarrassment and possible jeopardy to his or her job by giving OP a chance to avoid a wage garnishment.

    Yes, to ask the clerk of check to let you check court file. What you want to look for is the return of service of process. Find the paper in the file which will indicate how you were served, and see if it's legitimate.

    You read correctly. The thing is here, that you may not have been properly served in 2010 when the case was brought to court. So you could fight the judgment on those grounds, but that would only be a delaying tactic. That would only be a delaying tactic. The fact is you owe the debt and you either pay or or they will garnish your wages to collect.
