I saw two charges on my account, one for GARNISHMENT OR LEVY ITEM and one for GARNISHMENT OR LEVY FEE CHARGE. Issue is, I dont have children, have never been married or anything that should lead to me needing to pay child support. I called my bank who let me know the Garnishment department stated this was a legitimate charge and that I needed to contact the state child support department.
I contacted them and they were unable to find my case number and my SSN was not even in their system. They stated they would reach out to what they call their enforcement team and see what they can find. I was transferred to a manager who stated without a case number he could do nothing for me.
I called my bank back to report my card stolen, because I figured this was the only thing that could have led to this happening. They explained that the charge didnt get taken from my card, and transferred me to the checking account fraud, who then tried to get me back to garnishments, again. I was told that these can only come in the form of a court order, and no one on either side has been able to help me.
Now Im stuck and out almost $700 for a charge that has nothing to do with me, and Im freaking out trying to figure out what I should be doing. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT:: I should clarify, the only reason I think this might be child support related is because my bank gave me the number tied to the charge, which was to the Child Support Department
