Yes. There must be a court order. So that means that you must be able to go to the court house and find the case against you. If there is none, then the garnishment is illegal.

No one is entitled to garnish your wages without a court order that gives them the right to do so. Unless there is a judgment against you in court, you cannot be garnished, and you may be involved in a scam.
