No. Calvary obtained a judgment. This is a garnishment, not a new lawsuit. The statute
of limitation on a judgment is generally anywhere from 10- 20 years, state dependent. While you may have legal defenses to the garnishment, statute of limitation issues probably is not one of them. See a lawyer.

A breach of contract occurs when one party to the agreement fails to fulfill their legal obligation as defined by the terms contained within the contract. More information is needed to fully advise on your situation. I would recommend speaking with an attorney.
