Q: I’m supposed to get $839.00 but am only receiving $454.00 it states that $240.00 is being taking out for a lien and etc
So what does it mean by lien and is there any way of appealing this
A:
A lien is an obligation you owe. Liens can take many forms. Wage garnishment by a creditor is a common lien.
No one here can know what this lien is, or whether it is being lawfully being applied against your wages without knowing a great deal more about your situation. You are going to need to get a specific, confidential consultation with an attorney to get to the bottom of this.
Good luck to you.
