I have had a landlord file a garnishment against me. They started taking money out of my check and I was never served a notice

The clerk can't stop you from filing anything, they also won't help you though. Go back and for asap and if the clerk won't let you, go over their head

A recent case said that the Georgia garnishment law is unconstitutional so its possible to get the whole thing thrown out This is not intended to create an attorney client relationship and none is to be implied either. You must contact an attorney and present all facts before you can and should act on this response More 0 found this answer helpful found this helpful | 1 lawyer agrees Undo Vote Helpful Undo Unhelpful Undo 0 comments

Kris K. Skaar 5 stars 3 reviews Rating: 10 Consumer Protection Attorney in Woodstock, GA Reveal number tel: (770) 427-5600 Private message Call Message Profile Posted on Sep 16, 2015 See an attorney. Last week, a judge in Atlanta held that Georgia's garnishment statutes were unconstituational. Also, the behavior you are describing (i.e., a clerk not letting you file a traverse) is very odd. While you are best served by getting an attorney, if you must proceed without an attorney, you may want to speak with a supervisor in the clerk's office about not being allowed to file your traverse.
