Yes. Under certain circumstances, a debt may be assigned to an collection agency, and following statutory procedures, obtain the right to garnish without obtaining a judgment.
These procedures are very limited, and the penalty for violating them are severe.
Call if you would like the documents reviewed for propriety.
