Wacky couple Randy and Evi Quaid owe a lot of people a lot of money. But there's one person who's making sure they pay her back every cent-whether they like it or not, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned.
A judge has ordered several film studios to garnish Randy Quaid's residual checks in order to pay back his former private investigator, Becky Altringer, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.
Quaids Accused Of Stiffing Another Hotel
Altringer, who worked for the Quaids in June, 2009, sued the couple earlier this year claiming they owed her $19,000 in back pay. She won roughly $12,000 of it back and the right to have Randy's wages garnished in order to get it.

According to court documents, Randy still gets residual checks from several studios, including Disney, Warner Bros., and Sony Pictures. Breaking Celebrity News has learned that Randy's big check comes every August in the amount of $500,000 and that the residual checks are the Quaids’ only source of income.
"He still gets money every year from the National Lampoon movies he did," a source told Breaking Celebrity News. "They rely on that money because no one wants to work with Randy anymore."
Altringer says she is confident she will see her money because Randy and Evi will have no choice about paying it back. It will automatically be taken out of every check he receives quarterly.
It's quite a victory for the California based detective, considering the Quaids are currently in the middle of yet another lawsuit involving a Marfa, Texas, hotel which claims they skipped out on their bill.
