A: If they garnished your wages, it would appear that they got a judgment against you. Look into how they did that without notice (of the lawsuit or also of the garnishment) to you.

A: As previously stated, to garnish your bank accounts, a judgment had to be entered against you. Go to the website of the clerk of court of the county where you reside and type in your name. You should see a case with your name. Go to see if there is a return of service and see who was served with the complaint. If it was you or someone over the age of 15 who resided at your home, you were properly served. If you were not served or you do not know the person who was served (check the address also), then I suggest you contract a lawyer to attempt to set aside the judgment.
