You may not have been served with the complaint. Often when a creditor cannot find you they will ask for a warning order attorney. This attorney will attempt to find you and send the complaint to you. But if he cant find you the judge may and probably will eventually issue a default judgment. You can file bankruptcy, pay the debt, or try to go back to state court and dismiss the default or summary judgment which had to be granted for them to garnish your wages or bank account. If you dont the interest on the judgment simply increases every year by 12%.
You may try to negotiate its the garnishee. At some point, you had to have been served with the complaint o thy couldn’t have gotten a judgment against you, which is a prerequisite for a garnishment. You may be eligible to file a chapter 7 or 13. Consult a local bankruptcy attorney who can specifically address your options.
