More details to this question:
I had a judgemnet against me in 2009 for 3000.00 for an unpaid credit card. That acct was closed in about 2006. Nothing happened with the judgement. Then a few days ago, myemployer got garnishment papers for the original 3000.00 judgement plus 2700.00 more in interest. 5700.00. I was wondering since the debt was so old....is there anything i can do about this?

I doubt it. The judgment is 5 years old. In NY, the statute of limitations for collection on a judgmen t is 20 years. It may not be that long in MO, but probably longer than 5 years.
