My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: California.
Hello,
I cleared a debt which had gone to judgment. Over a month and a half after it was completely cleared, the collection agency sent a garnishment order to my work dated and including interest - meaning they must not have cleared the debt in their system. I have a confirmation of clearance letter the collectors gave me which I gave to my workplace and there is no threat of garnishment as it is undisputed that I have cleared the debt.
My question is whether I can sue the collection agency for contacting my work and continuing collection activity after the debt was paid in full and if so, under which section/law/precedent? I haven't checked whether they have mentioned the clearing of the debt on my credit report yet.
Thank you
