For the past year I have been living in a different city and was unware of this case, becase former business partner fail to notify me. I never recived any notices from the court or any lawyers. However lastweek I came to realized that my entireback account has been garnish and will continue until the debt is repaid. Because the had rule in favored of the former employee because our failur to response to the case (my former business partner does not have a bank account).
