More details to this question:
I had received this letter back in 2018, now getting a letter from my employer stating that they are garnishing my wages for the same case number. Is this legal? I am very confused and also disputed the charges in the matter when this first came to light. Heard nothing from them for almost 8 years after that. Do I need to obtain a lawyer?

If they have a garnishment, that means that they successfully sued you and obtained a judgment against you. They can garnish your wages and/or bank account until the judgment is paid in full. Depending on the amount of the judgment, it may make more sense to use your money to pay off the judgment than to pay a lawyer. How much is the jidgment for?
