In Oct 2006 I was involved in an accident at the time of accident I my insurance had lapse. I was sued in small claims court and I paid the judgement amount of $1613 by the deadline. Now the plaintiff is trying to get more money by garnishing my paycheck after I've satisfied the judgement. If my paycheck is garnished for a judgement that has been paid. I need to sue this person. Under what wrongful suit? Can I do this?

Find out what court issued the writ of garnishment first. Present proof there that it was paid BEFORE you were garnished and yes you ARE going to have to priove that either way... Perhaps that might be easier and more reliable. As they might be able to recover it more expediantly.

If you go straight to small claims court... while you might win... actually collecting it is something else.

Respond to the garnishment by showing that the judgment has been paid.
