No...they need a judgement from the courts first. Then everything fair game after that.

In Indiana you would have to receive "Notice" of the proceedings. I'm sure your state would have a similar requirement. You can contest the matter, probably easiest done with an attorney. There will be some legal hoops you have to jump through to 'prove' that you didn't receive proper notice. Seems to me that even if you could prove that you didn't receive notice, you would still end up with a trial on the merits and probably have a Judgment entered against you anyway (you even say here you were behind in the rent).
Perhaps your best and most cost effective move now would be to hire an attorney and claim that you didn't have proper notice. While the two attorneys were hashing out that problem, your attorney could negotiate a lower amount for you to pay and get rid of the judgment on your record.
I think in the end you would be ahead cost wise and you wouldn't have a judgment on your record and no garnishment.
I'm not attorney so take my advice with a grain of salt.... GOOD LUCK.

maximum states require they have a judgement hostile to you in the previous garnishing wages. is this the fairly mastercard organization or a third get mutually debt series organization? oftentimes they basically placed it on your credit, promote the debt to third get mutually collector and also you've were given to address them. That makes a huge difference. dissimilar time (maximum easily) it is in trouble-free terms communicate, in case you communicate to them, workout some type of plan you are able to oftentimes end the completed aspect there. also, examine on your mastercard words fact. Does it have a clause for unemployment? some do and think ofyou've got to fill out the right workplace paintings to get that dealt with. Its type of like insurance for those circumstances. in the adventure that your state helps them to garnish wages, then they are going to bypass immediately on your corporation to get that all started. besides the undeniable fact that, they couldn't!! call your position of employment and harrass you, smear your call etc... Violation of privateness etc... search for the Federal commerce fee (FTC) on line. they are going to be in a position to allow you to understand dissimilar documents. concerning state and federal guidelines.
