Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Colorado
I have been evicted from my apartment and owe 714 dollars and I was wondering if the apartment complex can garnish my wages or will it go into collections I was served with papers to appear in court and there was nothing that was written on the papers about them garnishing my wages right now I am staying with some friends right now and I am on the next level from being homeless I can not afford anything at this point in time.

A judgment is required to garish wages and to collect on the judgment. If you don't appear to defend the lawsuit the plaintiff will be granted a default judgment.
