Oh where to beging. Short story, 4-5 years ago I added my older brother to my checking account so he could cash a savings bond. The last 1 1/2 years I have been trying to get him removed from the account, finally settling a few weeks ago to open a new account and remove myself from this account. Monday I ordered checks and changed my direct deposit at work, as well as depositing a $2000 federal student loan check in to the original account (since I hadn't switched completely over and the new account puts holds on checks). Well Tuesday there was a $75 fee for garnishment and my account was $700 over drawn. With the money still showing in my account. I called the bank, they couldn't give me information other than it was a garnishment for my brother and the lawyers name. Called the lawyer, and have sent proof that all the deposits in the account are mine, and still they are refusing to return the money. Number two, federal law states that Federal student loans (stafford loans) are not attachable, so they legally cannot garnish these loans. What do I need to do? I was trying to be nice, however I'm 1 step away from eviction because I used my paycheck to cover books and tuition so I was repaying myself with the loan money. There is over $500 in overdraft and returned check fees with the bank alone, not including what my uitility companies are going to charge for returned checks. I'm sick to my stomach, I can't sleep, can't function. What is my legal leg to stand on? I have sent them everything I can, the only thing they are having issues with is the cash child support deposits, which I have a letter from my daughters father that was notorized 2 years ago stating how much he was paying every two weeks, and since he lives out of state, he deposits directly into my account. He also saves the bank slips (which I sent the scanned copies from my account online) and he has emailed a letter to the Lawyers office that put through the judgement. I can't wait though, rent is due Monday at the latest, and I don't have an understanding landlord, much less food or gas to get to and from work.
What can I do?
