Re: Writ of Execution
"A writ of execution is a common court order granted by a court in an attempt to satisfy a judgment obtained by a plaintiff. When issuing a writ of execution, a court typically will order a sheriff or other similar official to levy property owned by a judgment debtor. Such property will often then be sold in a sheriff's sale, and the proceeds remunerated to the plaintiff in partial or full satisfaction of the judgment. It is generally considered preferable for the sheriff simply to confiscate money from the defendant's bank account."

It appears as though you either lost or failed to respond ("defaulted") to a lawsuit. With the information you have provided, it is impossible to say which of the two occurred. Either way, it's uphill going, but the climb is steeper if you lost than if you defaulted.
Getting relief from a writ of execution is complex enough that you probably need the assistance of an attorney. Feel free to contact me, or call the Wyoming State Bar at 307.632.9061 for help in finding a lawyer (if you fall below certain income threshholds, they may be able to put you in touch with a legal services agency).
