    Garnishment hearing
    My bank account was garnished, for the past 18 days, 2 days ago the lawyer in the case represting the plaintiff called and told me he was going to take 283 from my account, this was prior to the hearing that was arranged with the court, I agreed on the basis that all other funds in my account would be released, which the lawyer agreed to. I went online today to discover that all funds were taken. I contacted the lawyer several times, but have not heard back as of yet, I also contacted the court to speak with someone to see if the hearing was in fact cancelled by the lawyer. What is your advise for me to make certain I'm not being screwed

    Unfortunately any advise I give is too late. The first piece of advice is you should not have let the situation get to the point where they could obtain a judgement against you. Once they got that judgement, you should have tried to protect your assets.

    You should also not have left things to a phone call. You should have immediately sent a letter to the attorney reiterating the agreement to take out money and release the balance.

    To advise further, I would eed to know how much was in the account and how much the judgement was for.
