miserable
Things just keep getting worse. I get home to a letter from the government's collections saying that they are taking action to garnish my wages. I don't know if they saw that I got a second job or if this is coincidence, but this absolutely cannot happen. Does anyone know what I can do to stop this from happening? I just need a year or so to stabilize my life and I need my entire paychecks. Hiring a lawyer would cost money and defeat the purpose. Like, how do I say to them "Back off just for a bit, please. I am doing my best, but that would sink me right now"? Note that I have tried this over the phone before just with the ordinary collections letters and they are not compassionate.
