Dear Steve,

You have three logical choices. The first would be to attempt and negotiate a repayment plan you can afford.

First, you can consult with a local attorney to make sure the creditor had the right to sue you and win a garnishment after so long.

Second, you can attempt to negotiate a mutually acceptable repayment plan with the creditor to avoid the garnishment.

Third, you can click here to find a local bankruptcy attorney and talk to them about discharging the old debt with bankruptcy and effectively kill the garnishment.
