More details to this question:
I was paying for almost for years. Stopped sure to financial reasons. No on ever contacted me to get back on track again and i could not find the info to get ahold of anyone. I was left some money by a relative that died. This was to help me seek tests andappointments that i can not afford. Sunday my bank account was garnished. It has almost wiped me out and i have been unemployed since may. The bank said it came from the court system. I hat no warning this was going to be done. I an trying to get back on an arrangement again but no one seems to be able to help me. The woman at three collection place our attorneys office was very rude and said that i defaulted and should have been aware. I would think some kind of paper work should have been sent. She then told me she sent a letter in February of 2012. I have been married for five years and never get mail in my maiden name. thanks, Brenda

Unfortunately, its your responsibility to obey the court order. If they have to come find you, it is usually unpleasant. If you want to challenge the garnshment as exempt you might be able to but will typically need ot hire legal counsel to help you.
