The Maryland agency responsible for collecting child support let millions go uncollected by overlooking such collection methods as garnishing wages and seizing bank accounts, according to a state audit released Monday.
In a review from 2007 to 2010, the state Office of Legislative Audits found Maryland's Child Support Enforcement Administration in many cases also did not suspend the occupational licenses of parents who were more than 120 days late on payments. In addition, local child-support offices under the agency's supervision failed to make sure that businesses reported new employees to a statewide registry and did not follow up on federal reports that identified residents as eligible for wage withholding.

Unfortunately in our effort to have the City of Buffalo abide by the law, we made headlines again. Justice John Michalek ruled the city was in direct violation of a Court of Appeals decision of Oct. 9 that vacated a July 15, 2005, interest arbitration award under the Taylor Law. This award has continued to be imposed illegally by the city despite the court's decision.
The judge did not order the city to take the 5.5 percent pay raise over the last eight years and start garnishing our wages for past wages paid. In fact, there is currently a temporary restraining order specifically ordering the city not to do so. There are also questions as to whether it is legal for Mayor Byron B. Brown to take away the wage increases and recoup monies since he voluntarily gave such raises in ...

The Idaho Department of Finance has ordered GeteCash, an Orem- based payday lender, to stop making payday loans in Idaho without a license and unlawfully garnishing the wages of payday loan debtors.
The department said Wednesday that the company continued advertising on its website that Idaho was within its "service areas" for making payday loans -- a claim it said is false because the company has never applied for or been issued a license to make payday loans in the state.

The news media says America is looking for change. However, does America want the change that the liberal, extreme-left politicians - aka progressive politicians - of the Democratic Party will provide?
They promise easily accessed, affordable national health care (socialist health care). This proves that the Democrats are insane because they profess to succeed, without improvement, with a health program that always fails. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to force us to participate in this program even if we don't want to, by garnishing our wages. I guess we'll have to change our national anthem - delete "land of the free" and insert "land of the tyrants.

Similarly, when addressing issues such as contacting a consumer's spouse, the collector must comply with the laws of the state in which the consumer resides. Applying the laws where the collector is located, unless it's the same venue as the consumer, would not be logical as the consumer is protected by the laws of his own state. For example, let's say a consumer resides in Iowa and the debt collector is located in Minnesota. Iowa state law prohibits speaking with a consumer's spouse without the consumer's permission. However, Minnesota law permits a collector to speak with a consumer's spouse. The applicable law is Iowa because that is where the consumer resides. Thus, the collector may not speak with the consumer's spouse without the consumer's permission. It's irrelevant that Minneso...

HUNTINGTON - City officials plan to begin garnishing wages of residents who have delinquent municipal and refuse fees in an effort to fill a $2.5 million deficit in next year's budget.
If we believe a resident has the financial resources to pay their fees but simply refuses to, then we will focus our energies on garnishing wages," City attorney Scott McClure said Wednesday. "This isn't a tactic we'll use on everyone, especially those who have no financial means at all. But I know of people who make $60,000, $80,000 and $100,000 a year and aren't paying their fees.
