Collection agency rep to disabled veteran: "You should have died!"

[Panacea]

There WAS a court order, actually. what happened was the agency got a garnishment, then the veteran asked for the garnishment to be overturned on the basis that the income was exempt. The garnishment was therefore overturned, but was in force when the money was taken out of the veteran's account. So technically not illegal; I don't, however, know the legal situation when the garnishment is overturned. However, there is definitely contempt of court, however, I don't think Contempt of court has a particularly severe penalty unless you keep doing it.

It can get you in trouble with the Bar Association, given the circumstances: he promised the Court to do something, then reneged. It's unethical behavior.

oh, I quite agree- and he should be hauled up in front of the Bar- I was juts pointing out that what they did didn't seem to break any laws that would allow the imprisonment of the collectors.
