More details to this question:
I just got a letter that my wages were going to be garnished. This judgment was from 2012, and I'm just getting this letter now. Can they do this? I moved in 2011 I never got served here so I never knew about this.

Yes, they can garnish you without notice. They may have "served" you by some alternate means - such as publication in a newspaper. They may have not served you correctly and lied to the court and said they did. In any event, they have a judgment so they can garnish.
