A sheriff went to my workplace and provided an Earnings Withholding Order to my payroll manager, stating my wages will be garnished by 25% each deposit. This is for a vehicle that was repossessed in 2008. I had a court date on 8/29/2008 but did not attend because I had moved locations, and the collectors have been mailing all paperwork to my old address. This wage garnishment form is the first time I ever heard I owed the financial company. I was 20 years old when my vehicle got repossessed, so I did not know I owed anything. Since they knew where I worked, why couldn't they send me something before garnishing my wages? Do you think I should fight this? Any type of advice will help.

In California, after serving a letter of intent to sue to a defendant, which preserves the statute of limitations for 90 days, if I can't find a lawyer to take the case, can I still file a small claims complaint within the 90 days or does it need to be within the original statute of limitations of 1 year?

As an Independent Contractor in Los Angeles, California, I am hired to provide a specific therapy modality to clients on an hourly basis. The company has a 48-hour cancellation policy where they bill 100% of the session cost for missed appointments. I am informed that I can invoice for the missed session but will 'owe the company that hour' for clerical work. I disagree with this policy and want to know my legal rights to refuse this arrangement and what I can say to the company to assert my rights.
