Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey

If you were never served with summons and complaint you oppose the turnover of the money to the company by filing a motion to reopen the case and to be heard in your own defense.

It appears that a judgment was entered against you and now, as a result of that judgment, a bank levy was served. You are entitled to a $1,000 exemption and you need to immediately write a letter to the court asserting that you want your $1,000 exemption (mail a copy to the opposing attorney). The court will probably list it for a hearing date and you should attend to tell the judge that you want to assert your exemption. In addition, when they make a motion to turnover funds, you need to file opposition to that as well and make sure to attend any hearing date. Finally, you need to make a motion to vacate the judgment so that this does not repeat itself in the future (if in fact you were never served with summons/complaint). Ideally, you would make the motion to vacate prior to the plaintiff making their motion to turnover.
