Pay them what they say you owe. Your recourse was BEFORE they obtained the judgement. Unless they got a default judgement because you didn't fight it, there is nothing you can do. If it was a default judgement you can file a Motion to Vacate the garnishment and have them take you back to court to obtain a valid judgment.

As much as you owe.
