    Why should or would they ? They have a legal judgement and have the ability to take all of the money in the bank account,
    For what reason would they not take all they could?

    I mean I guess you can try, but if the money in the bank does not cover the entire debt most likely they will just want to know when theywill get more

    Hello C_97

    Fr_Chuck is right why would they negotiate now? The time to work out a settlement was before they got the judgement? Another point, if you live in a state where wage garnshiments are allowed they may do that to. You can try and see what happens but I doubt if they will negotiate now that they have a legal way to get their money
