Can the Treasury garnish my VA disability?

[Fearless 1]

I owe ~ $1300.00 in overpayment for travel pay from 2016. I talked to a third party collector and told him I'm rated 100%. I asked him if I could make a payment arrangement for $50, but he told me the Treasury wants more than that a month, and that he could not put me down for $50 a month for 24 months. I'm trying to take care of 3 debts atm without hurting myself too much. He told me they would come after my disability if I do not pay more than that. Am I SOL?

Travel pay for VA ? They usually collect on their own stuff not through  third parties. You might want to check on the validity of this.  I owed a similar amount because my sons DEA didn’t flip over to him fast enough And there was overlap. Va debt management is taking the minimum amount out of mine for about 145, but not a third party collector.

This is travel payment from the Army. I ETS in 2016, and it looks like they have been trying to get this for sometime now.

I wouldn't work through a third party collector For a treasury Debt. Dept of treas, IRS, usually collect on their own stuff, and they can garnish pretty much whatever.

• Just got off the phone with the Treasury (should have done that in the first place ) and was told that they CAN'T touch VA disability, and that the only ones that could was the VA.
