Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Virginia

Long story short I have recently recieved a garnishment on my checking account from Complete Womans Care. They will not remove the garnishment until I pay 500.00 up front, but I was told if I pay it I would not be able to take them to court. The main problem is that I had direct deposit for my pay check and the bank has my past two checks on hold so I am unable to pay any of my bills or them. The thing is that they had been sending mail to an address I had not been living at for a year, I had owed them 945.39 plus 149.65 intrest. They had summoned me to court and since I didnt show the judge had granted them 1494.87, 945.38 plus149.65 plus 64.94 court fee plus 330.89 atty's fee. What I need to know is that if I am able to go to court to get that extra almost $500.00 off so I can just pay whats owed? I was not aware that that account existed and they said that they never got any returned mail from that address nor did I recieve and other contact from them, phone call or anything. I had several medical bills from the same date that I have paid off so paying them their money would not had been a issue. Please help. Thank you for your time Hope to hear from you soon.

Yes, you could go to the clerk's office and explain that you never got

notice of the plaintiff's warrant in debt and would like to set a hearing to

vacate or set aside the apparent default judgment that apparently was granted to

them by the court.
