Your problem is your employer who should give you this info but don't you know who has judgment(s) against you

It sounds like you may have been sued and a judgment entered against you, unless this is a student loan or a tax garnishment. If you think it may be a debt-collection judgment, check your credit report (for free on annualcreditreport.com) to see if there are any judgments against you, or contact an attorney for assistance.

If this was in Arizona then you received the writ of garnishment.

You will be noticed once the garnishment is in place and be given a right to object.

You would have been served with a summons and complaint, judgment and notice of wage garnishment. You can contact the issuing court and get relevant information.

I am not sure why your employer is refusing to give you this information. You can do an index check on the Court's web site in your county to see who sued you and who has a judgment against you. You can request a claim of exemption to lower the 25% that the creditor is entitled to.

If it is in fact a garnishment it is a court order, and you are required to be served.
