Dear Garr,
The issue here that you need to take some action to intervene here instead of just watching the bus hit you. If the debt has already passed from current, to delinquent, to a lawsuit, and now a garnishment; no acceptable action has been taken by you yet.
Navy Federal Credit Union, like most other credit unions, is willing to talk about a solution to help remedy the situation. They might ask for a payment plan that is more than you can afford. In that case, you could always create a payment plan under a Chapter 13 bankruptcy or discharge the debt in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you went bankrupt it would terminate the judgment and prevent them from garnishing your wages.

Garr, the responsible thing to do here is for you to take some action and not let this just roll over you as a wage garnishment.
You are not alone. I'm here to help. There is no need to suffer in silence. We can get through this. Tomorrow can be better than today. Don't give up.

I concur. NFCU actually lied to me as well. I was told they were putting payments at the end of my truck loan and that I had 30 days in which I didn’t have to make a payment. I figured that was awesome! Next thing I know, they are looking for my truck and I was forced to do a self turn-in. I went through three managers trying to get it straight. I’ll never do that again – I’ll hide it first. They sold my $20,000 F150 Fx4 truck for $3,000 at auction and then expected me to pay the difference. If it would have been a smaller amount, maybe. If they hadn’t lied, maybe. Being that they lied and tried to screw me, never. It’s been 7 years, it’s almost gone, and my family will never do business with them again.
Navy Federal will NOT do a fucking thing to help you. My solution is to relocate to a state that prohibits wage garnishment. Yes! There are actually a few states that do this. You can lose your house to foreclosure in CA, but the state prohibits the bank from getting a deficiency. Good Luck!!
Most of the time, if you inform Navy Federal of your current situation and you work out a plan with them it helps…as long as you don’t call up demanding things. Just remember, they are people just as well as you are and they experience hardship too. best of wishes.
Sorry Erica but thats not all true, I tried several times to work with them, it took me make no payment for a month and a half THEN they seem to want to find ways to help and it still wasn’t all that good of a deal.
