    Once they are awarded a judgment against your wages there is nothing you can do to stop it. If it has been eleven years (statute is normally 6) then you must have answered their treaties and paid a nominal amount any of those years, in which case, once you do that, the statute starts all over again.

    When did you "offer" to pay and did you ever mail or send them any money with an offer ? If so, that started the SOL all over again on old debts, trying to pay or paying a small amount even 10 dollars often harms you on old debts.

    You can go to the court where the garnishment is though and challenge the judgement on grounds of service. If they accept this and it is over turned, you can get the garnishment stopped.
