I would get an lawyer. I know you may not be able to afford it, but you have to do something. Where is the money going? Did you call the company that is suppose to get the money? Here is an idea. Make copies of your pay checks showing the garnishment coming out, write a letter to the company and attach your copies of the checks. I would send it registered mail to make sure the bill gets the letters. You have now proven it is paid, so if they still say they don't have it file a complaint against the bill and your employer with the state. If you bill is a bank there is an on-line form you can file with the federal government. Another thought.... contact a consumer protection agency. There are laws that cover this and you are protected by law.

As a federal felony, employers are not likely to do this, which is why you should take enough deduction to forgo a tax return refund. Request a copy of canceled checks. If by chance they are, report this to your state Office of Child Support Enforcement.
