Re: Wage Withholding

Dear John,

I believe people post on Cousel.Net because they want to
be responded to, so I will try your posting. Looks to me
like you are in good shape, for Dell has offered to refund
your money and set up payments. Sounds like a pretty good
deal to me. Why not do it? You have the computer, and I am
sure you want to pay for it. Seems like Dell is being
pretty reasonable by offering to refund the money. Many
companies would not, choosing to go by the old adage
that "possession is nine points of the law." Once in
possession of the money, don't give it up, they reason. To
me this does not look like a garnishment, but a wage
assignement that you agreed to. Maybe not that much money
at once. Perhaps Dell over did it, or your former employee
overdid it in favor of Dell; but, regardless, Dell is
offering to refund the money. Take it and let Dell set you
up on payments until you have the computer paid in full,
thus protecting your credit and good name. Best advice I
can give you! Best of luck!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
Lake Charles, LA
