Either you were sued and were never served with the lawsuit, or you did receive the lawsuit papers and didn't respond. Either way, there is a judgment against you and you will get only one shot at getting the judgment set aside. See an attorney.
Mr. Stone is right. If the matter has gotten to the point of having accounts seized, you need an attorney immediately, not an internet answer.
You can look into exemptions to the enforcement of Judgments at Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 703, et seq. See an attorney.
Option 1 - file a bankruptcy, which will put a stop to the bank garnishment.
Option 2 - contact plaintiff's attorney, attempt to negotiate a settlement.
Option 3 - file a motion to vacate the default judgment.
