-2006. I was about 22 and was living in my first apartment for a few months. I got a little too lax about the bills and messed around and forgot to pay the water bill. Never in my life have I turned on a faucet and nothing came out. That was that moment i realized that they will indeed cut your stuff off if you don't pay.
-2014. I heard of wage garnishment but thought it never really happened for real. Like people that get arrested for downloading movies or something. I had just moved to tx and was working for a cell phone company for 8 months. I finally got to the point that i was getting good and was expecting some big commission checks. I noticed that one of my checks was much lower than it should be. I did some digging and learned that my checked was garnished for 25% over a credit card from 2006 :x i did fought it and turns out it was opened fraudulently and i got all of my money back but it was a lengthy process and i learned then that garnishing wages is real life.
When did life hit you in the mouth.
