Debt collector wants money FASTER!

(Salem, Oregon)

I was took to court for owing the state of Washington 3000.
The courts added court costs and said that I am to pay 50 a month. I have been paying my payment every month. Today I got a letter in the mail from a "recovery" collector for the department of human services in Washington...so I call and talk to the man who answers the phone I tell him I have court payments for this account he asks me how much I am paying I tell him 50 he tells me that's not enough and I will never get it payed off. I tell him I do not have and income besides financial aid from school he says how do u pay your rent? I say I don't think that's none of your business like I said F.A he says humm they give felons help with school? That's interesting. How do you pay for rent? I say housing (section 8) he makes some derogatory statements about that to. At that point I get irritated and tell him that I got this fine because I sent my kids to Oregon to visit their grandma and did not know it was against the law if you get help from the state. He says that they will garnish my wages and seize my bank accounts if I do not comply with them. I again tell him I pay my payment I was court ordered. He says they have the right to get the money from me if they feel the courts are not getting enough fast enough is this true?
