Treasury Debt Defense and Resolution

Once a federal debt is referred to the Treasury Department, the rules change. Added fees, the Treasury Offset Program and administrative wage garnishment all come into play. We challenge improper collection and negotiate resolutions that stop the bleeding.

  • Defense against offset, garnishment and private collectors
  • Fee disputes and cross-servicing challenges
  • Compromise offers and negotiated repayment

What We Do

How We Defend Against Treasury Collection

Treasury collection is aggressive by design, but it is not without rules. These are the services we use to contest improper action and reach a resolution.

Cross-Servicing Dispute

When a debt is transferred to Treasury cross-servicing, fees are added and stronger tools unlock. We challenge improper referrals and, where a viable plan was wrongly rejected, seek to recall the loan back to the originating agency.

  • Dispute the referral and the added collection fees
  • Pursue recall of the loan to the originating agency
  • Restore resolution options available before transfer

Treasury Offset Program Defense

TOP intercepts tax refunds, federal salaries and certain benefit payments to satisfy a delinquent debt. We identify what is protected and challenge offsets that exceed the government’s authority.

  • Challenge improper or excessive offsets
  • Protect statutorily shielded benefits
  • Pursue compromise to stop further interception

Administrative Wage Garnishment Defense

An AWG order can withhold up to 15% of your disposable pay. You have the right to a hearing, and we use it — contesting the debt, the amount or the hardship it causes.

  • Request and litigate your AWG hearing
  • Document hardship to reduce withholding
  • Negotiate a repayment plan in place of garnishment

Treasury Compromise Offer

Treasury debt can be compromised where the numbers support it. We prepare the financial analysis and present an offer that reflects the government’s realistic recovery.

  • Ability-to-pay analysis for Treasury-held debt
  • Structured lump-sum or payout offers
  • Fees contested as part of the settlement

Treasury Repayment Plan Negotiations

A negotiated repayment plan can stop offsets and garnishment and put the debt on a schedule you can actually keep. We structure terms that hold up.

  • Negotiate affordable installment agreements
  • Halt offset and garnishment during the plan
  • Keep the plan sustainable to avoid re-default

Treasury Investigation and Discovery

You cannot challenge what you cannot see. We obtain the collection file, verify the balance and fees, and find the procedural failures the agency has to answer for.

  • Obtain the Treasury collection and referral file
  • Verify balances, fees and statutory charges
  • Build the record for disputes and appeals

Treasury Debt Defense

From first referral to final resolution, we coordinate the entire defense — disputing improper action, negotiating terms and protecting your assets throughout.

  • Full-service defense against Treasury collection
  • Coordination with servicers and private collectors
  • Plain-English guidance at every step
