Q: Boss ignored court order wage garnish. Now it's his debt. He fired me thinking it would be mine again. Can I sue him?
I have lost my car because I was fired & could make payments and ruined my new good credit. He thought if I didn't work there anymore that he wouldn't be responsible for the debt anymore so he fired me. He was wrong. That job was the only fit while I raise 2 kids in 2 schools in that town but live 3 towns over. This has made the last school year a very difficult and stressful nightmare and now I have no car and a suspended license because I couldn't pay insurance or my car payment which is had for 2 years at that time. I am struggling to get my kids back and forth and share them with their dad in another county. His laziness has ruined my life.
A: Wow. What a dirtbag your ex-boss is. Now his company has a judgment against it and the judgment is still good against you. I recommend you seek legal help to determine if you have a valid cause of action against your boss. This is a tricky situation that I'm sure very few attorneys have come across. The major problem that I see is that he can fire you for any reason, good or bad, or for no reason. Best of luck.
