Debt Collector Garnishing Wages After Lawsuit Notice Sent to Outdated Address
Collectors pursuing decade-old debts obtain default judgments by sending required legal notices to addresses that are years out of date, denying consumers any opportunity to contest. The bank account is levied before the customer is aware a lawsuit was filed. There is no mechanism requiring collectors to locate current addresses before serving legal process on time-barred debts.
