Re: Writ of Garnishment
Usually, in order to get a writ of garnishment, the creditor must have obtained a judgment. To get a valid judgment, you must have been served with a copy of the lawsuit. When you say you didn't know anything about it, I wonder if you received the citation or if someone took a shortcut. Or maybe you just threw it in the wastebasket. I would like to see a copy of the return of citation, because if you were not properly served, then this creditor is in hot water. If you want my assistance in this matter, contact me by e-mail.
