Consumer Narrative
Transworld Systems Incorporated managed to infiltrate my place of employment and garnish wages from my pay. Transworld Systems Inc. sent my previous employer and Administrative Wage Garnishment document that stated that they had the authority to garnish wages from my pay. My employer allowed the garnishment to go through due to this form. I reached out to the Department of Treasury several times and was told that they did not have an account for garnishment for me nor had Transworld Systems been hired by them to collect a debt. The Department of Treasury and federal law states that collectors still have to abide by federal and state laws etc. I reside in the state of Texas. I reached out to the state representative and the attorney general 's office and was informed that it was unconstitutional to garnish for anything other than child support and spousal support in the state of Texas. As a result of this action, even more negative and counterproductive events took place at my place of employment. Federal law states that collectors have to abide by the state laws and do not have the authority to submit an Administrative wage garnishment if hired by the federal agency separately. I was also not afforded the opportunity to dispute the amount or the debt and when I called Transworld Systems they would not provide me with a hearing packet. I was also told that hearing requests are on a case by case basis on administrative wage garnishments. Federal law states that hearing requests packets must be sent to the debtor 's last known address for administrative wage garnishments. Transworld Systems had knowledge of my current address. I had no way around disputing or defending myself against the debt. This event contributed to the resignation of my employment. They are attempting to collect the debt for the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
