Wage Garnishment Options

I have a situation I was wondering if anyone could provide any guidance. I was on a rehab program for my defaulted student loans but, during the repayment process I was terminated from my job and was unable to make any payments for 3 months. I called the CA today to make a payment to get my account up to date, but I was told that it was sent to Wage withholding on Friday and there is nothing I can do. I just started a new job last week. I want to make payments for my loan just not through wage withholding. Has anyone delt with a situation like this before? Thanks!!

If you were "involuntarily seperated" from your last job, you ca

If you were "involuntarily seperated" from your last job, you cannot be garnished for (I believe) six months. If they truly sent to you garnishment, you will get a letter and you will have a valid objection which will allow you to enter into repayment.

Thanks for your help. I had to tell the CA rep 5 different times that I was out of work and just started a new job. She finally asked me who my employer was and realized it wasn't the same employer as before! She then explained that they just needed to verify that I didn't work my previous employer and I could be put back onto a voluntary payment plan.

Thanks for your help, this is a great forum!!!
