My husband wages were recently garnished.& It turns out that the&thieves got a judgement against us for medical debt. (They were only able to do this because I did not know my rights when this all started.)& It turns out they are going to take 25% of our income for quite a while.&


If I discharge this debt dollar for dollar, does that mean that I am accepting that it is valid?& I noticed on documents that I researched that all of the personal information entered was like, "alleged debtor SARA JANE DOE".& That tells me that we are not accepting the debt, but if we are not accepting it, then why are we paying it?& I know the obvious answer, but what is the general consensus?


I feel that if I am going to offer payment then I should say that I am paying a bill that I owe.& Or, are we saying that, even though we know they are illegal, we will offer them payment so that they will leave us, the alleged debtor, alone?
