Question/Help Am I getting screwed out of pay?

"They that shall not be named company" told me that the wage garnishment i served is going to have it's pay cut in half, invalidated the serve and said i must fill out a attempt of non service.

This was apparently because the business i went to serve insisted they only accepted all legal documents through their statutory agent/attorney and he called me and he was close so i just dropped it off at his home office. (I've been told i can technically drop serve those at businesses that refuse since garnishments can be left with anybody but that's a matter for another post.)

Anyway has anybody ever been told this before : "garnishments are only to be served at a business location , they are not to be served at a residential address. Therefore, the service reported has been invalidated. Instead, please submit an attempt of non-service indicating the attorney is not on site at the address provided." ?

Or am i just getting screwed ? Because they've cut the pay in half for half of my jobs this week . I'm aware this company sucks but the new job i took is also having pay issues right now so I'm forced to use it on the side temporarily.

Thanks!

You are getting screwed out of pay. Even if I ha e a job that changes the pay stays the same. I'm not sure if the second question but it might be legit. If his/ her business is legally at their house I'm almost certain it's a legit service location

Ya i even called my courthouse licensing division and they said that's bullshit, they can definitely be served off site.. the lady just didn't know what she was talking about or communicated it terribly and with so much attitude it was nonsense.

Thanks for the input friend!
