You would have been notified for the court hearing for the judgement, and you would have had the opportunity to defend yourself and prove you did not owe the debt.
But once they have a judgement, they do not have to notify you that they are going to garnish your wages ( in most states ) In Tennessee they do have to notify but that is a state law. They may also attach your bank accounts in many states, and with no notice either after they have a judgement. |
