I received a notice from Pappas Hayden Westberg & Jackson XXXX XXXX, KS XXXX stating that they were trying to garnish me. I tried several times to contact and finally got a call back. This is in regards to a credit card debt from nearly seven years ago. They would not provide really any information other than they would do an internal investigation and let me know. I currently do not have any marks on my credit report to reflect anything relating to this. I regularly monitor my reports and have not had anything on this as far back as I can remember. I had thought that I had paid it but due to the age I am having trouble coming up with any records. I tried to contact the debtor directly but they would not talk to me because there was a attorney involved. If I owe it, I'll pay it but they couldn't/would n't offer me any proof other than " because we say so ''. I don't understand how something can simply pop up out of nowhere and I can be expected to blindly pay it. They are talking about garnishing a bank account that has been closed for several years. I have worked hard to repair my credit and don't want something to damage that for no apparent cause other than a greedy law firm trying to prey on the unsuspecting and vulnerable. Is this even legal? Are there no statutes of limitation? Please advise. Thank you.
