    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.

    For future reference its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's thread. Please start your own thread when you have a question.
