I attended XXXX XXXX University XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO in the XX/XX/1990. I admittedly defaulted on my loan. My wages ended up being garnished for, I believe, 10 years. I received notification that my loan was completely paid off and my wages were no longer being garnished. A few months later, I received a letter stating that in fact my loan was not paid off and I still owed in excess of {$8000.00}. This information came from West Asset Management who has since been garnishing my wages ( again ) because I tired of their games. I was told that I could submit various financial forms for consideration of their rehabilitation program. After submitting various documents and being told they were n't good enough, I just quit and figured they could come after me. Which they did. I received another letter in the mail telling me they were now coming after my tax returns even though they 've been steadily taking out a percentage of my paycheck. I do n't understand how I can have paid off all the loan and interest, be told that I had fulfilled my obligation and then have them come after me again for garnishment and tax-returns. They are very opaque in their dealings and do n't make it easy for XXXX to understand just what one 's obligations are, especially as they apply to amounts assumed to be paid. Whether or not I think what they are doing is fair, is it legal? Can I be told that I have no further obligations only to have them turn around and tell me that I do? Is this an endless cycle of me paying off XXXX obligation only to be met another and another until my last day on Earth?
