A company I earn commission from that considers me an Independent Contractor received a wage garnishment order for me. I didn't think as an IC that they could garnish my "wages" being that I don't earn wages. However, any comission that I've earned is now being put toward a "debit balance" that's nearly twice the amount of the garnishment amount and then once that has been cleared they will adhear to the garnishment order. The only explaination I've been given is that they are exercising their right to recoupment. I have no idea what that means. Please help. I don't know if this matters at all but the branch I work out of is located in Rhode Island, but I reside in Missouri. The company is an international company.
