QUESTION
If I have a court ordered wage garnishment, can the debt collector call me and start sending me bills again?
Asked on Sep 17th, 2013 on Bankruptcy - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was served by an officer to appear in court to pay a medical bill in December and I called the collector and made payment arrangements. I missed one payment in March. I had a wage garnishment put in effect in April. Since I don't make enough for them to garnish my wages, the collector has started calling me telling me I need to pay and has sent me a bill.

They can contact you. You have the right to direct them in writing not to contact you. I suggest certified mail or fax so you have proof of receipt. This does not prevent legal action but if you are not collectible you are not collectible.

They have a right to do all which is legally possible and proper to enforce their judgment, including to call you and ask, or demand, payment.
