    Enforcing a tax lien or wage garnishment?

    If the IRS for Federal Taxes or the State for state taxes intend to garnish wages or place a bank levy or tax lien… Do they have to notify you in writing before they do so??

    How can i stop a tax lien on my wages?

    The state of CA has a wage garnishment on my wages. They take 25% every check. Although I was warned by mail, they never informed me of a deadline to pay or dispute. Is it legal for the lien without notification by certified mail?

    My friend owes 5K from 2007 taxes but just received a letter about the proposed debt a month ago. She did respond to the letter but she is afraid they will put a levy on her bank account and/or wages. She is unable to pay the debt in full all at once.

    Will the IRS give her the chance to make payments on the debt or will they automatically put a federal lien on her assets if it all is not paid at once?

    My wife and I had a car repoed earlier this year and now the collection agency is treatening a lawsuit or the lender Toyota is.
    I need to buy some time 3-6 months so I can pay the settled amount.
    The creditor has said that want to put a lein on our home and ganish our wages.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get them to stop the collection/lawsuit?

    This info is for a freind whom has consulted w/ an atty. and stated that the only option is a settlement. This party does not have the money for a settlement nor enough assets to sell off to erase the tax liability. All wages garnished and personal asset(s) i.e. car has lien attached. Bankruptcy won’t work due to this is non-dischargeable debt. This person understands the need to pay and has a good job-salary, but the IRS has left her/him with 3 to live on ea. month. Bascially poverty-stricken. No doubt the gov’t has legal basis to due this, but, but, I believe it’s unfair/ unjust to propel a person into dire straits with collection efforts. If the garnishment was not at the present level e.g. leaving this person with say 00 to live on monthly, it would be affordable. I don’t think the IRS… tax system, was setup to render a preson homeless or otherwise. Thank you for any assistance.

    What are the foreclosure laws in Utah?

    My home in Utah is in pre-forclosure. I know the process and how it works. But once the home sells at auction and is sold for less then what I owe. Can the bank then come after me and garnish wages or my bank account? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    My interest rate is 17.5% and my mortgage payment and lot rent is so hard to keep up with. I have never been 30 days late. But I don’t want the house anymore and really don’t care about my credit either. Does anyone know what will happen if I just stop making the payments and let the house go into foreclosure? If my husband and I both have jobs paying us under the table, will they be able to garnish our wages still? Any advice would help. Like I said i don’t want the house, it depreciates it value, and I owe about ,000 more than it is actually worth, so there is no sense in selling it or refinancing because no one will buy something that isn’t worh the money they have to pay for it.
    Trust me, I know about my credit. I work in the mortgage industry. And I can’t help myself get a better loan. I owe ,000 on this house, and after FIVE YEARS, I still owe ,000. It is only worthg maybe ,000. How can I sell this house? There are 30 or so homes in the community that are for sale. They are bigger, look better, and are selling for a lot less. Like I said, I have never been 30 days late thinking I can save my credit, but I give up and will seek help from family members with getting into another house. I know about still having to owe the difference, but if I have no money they can’t take it from me right?
