Dealing with Main Street Acquisitions in Utah?

Discovering a surprise court order or a sudden reduction in your paycheck can be jarring. If you have been targeted by Main Street Acquisitions, it is vital to recognize that your situation may not be final. Many consumers find themselves in this position due to a lack of proper notice regarding the original legal action. If you believe you were never served with the initial lawsuit, we aim to challenge the validity of the resulting default judgment and restore your right to be heard in court.

The Legal Reality for Utah Consumers

In Utah, legal judgments remain enforceable for eight years and may be renewed indefinitely through timely motions filed before the expiration date. When a creditor seeks to collect, they are restricted by state law regarding wage garnishment. Specifically, garnishment is limited to the lesser of 25% of your disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30 times the federal minimum wage. Furthermore, private student loans are subject to a more restrictive 10% cap under Utah Code § 70C-7-103. For those weighing their long-term financial recovery, Understanding Bankruptcy Options may be a necessary step if your overall debt load remains unmanageable.

Ignoring a court summons or a notice of garnishment often leads to the loss of your legal defenses. Act promptly to protect your assets and evaluate your options before deadlines pass.
