I have been laid off from my job since Nov 2008. I recently gained employment and received a notice from my employer yesterday regarding a garnishment. I called the attorney's office responsible for the garnishment and was told it was for a bad check written in 2002 for $52.00. The garnishment order is for $1,035.04. How is this possible? when the Kansas state laws are: STATE: KANSAS INTEREST RATE â?¢ Legal: 10% â?¢ Judgment: 12% STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS (IN YEARS) â?¢ Open Acct.: 3 â?¢ Written Contract: 5 â?¢ Domestic Judgment: 5 renewable â?¢ Foreign Judgment: 5 renewable BAD CHECK LAWS (CIVIL PENALTY) Three times check amount not exceeding the check amount by $500 or $100 whichever is greater plus attorney fees 3 times the check amount would be $156.00, 10% would be $15.60 I was also told by the attorneys office that interest is compounded daily. Could this be possible??? Does anyone know what I can do to get this resolved quickly with losing the only income I have to provide for 3 children and myself?
I personally never prefer buying any thing involving interests rates because it is not permitted by God, I hope you will have your problem solved with the help of God.
I'm confused Henry123...does God have something against interest rates? Besides, the OP didn't buy anything. He wrote a bad check.
