You'd have to give them a really good reason why they should take a hit on the balance owed. Why should they cut you a break? That's the question you to which you must have an answer. Once the debt is paid, then you get your transcripts, but not before. That's the way things work in the world.

The garnishee (employer) must answer the interrogatories. I see no reason while your employer would want to spend money challenging the propriety of service. You are free to file a motion to quash the garnishment and schedule a motion hearing but my hunch is that you’ll lose. Even if the... View More

Putting the agreement on paper will be helpful, because if you have to sue her the written agreement should make it a breeze for you to win your case. However, the written agreement itself does nothing to make her pay up - making her pay will require her voluntary compliance or else a court... View More
