Credit card Taking/threatening an illegal action Attempted to/Collected exempt funds Wisconsin

I am writing describing Kohn Law Firm, SC in -, WI. I am a single parent ( with a degree mind you ) ... on state assistance for my son and myself. Due to the economy and low wages, I have to work - part-time jobs and gone from my family 14 hours per day, I am still in the poverty line and receive state insurance and up until a month or two ago, food stamps. After repeated harassing calls ( leaving me crying with their rude put-downs ), I asked if they would settle with me and if I could make affordable payments. They firmly let me know that it is too late for that. I also asked if they would please give detailed charges


I filed and faxed Kohn Law Firm 's exemption form garnishment form. ( I talked on the phone to them about receiving this form as they kept it from my knowledge though another debt collector offered it, and exempted me from garnishment ). After explaining this, Kohn Law Firm finally agreed and mailed me the garnishment exemption form.I filled it out, faxed in my state assistance proof to Kohn Law Firm and gave a copy to my employer as well. This legally should have released or exempted me from garnishment. However, Kohn Law Firm proceeded to garnish my wages anyway. This is illegal as I am on state assistance. Working - part-time jobs as a single parent, I am unable to now provide enough income to support my family. I looked into the history of Kohn Law firm and their illegal practices. They have repeatedly violated the Fair Debt Collection Act. Please help meas I have to borrow money from - just to feed my children.
