STOP PAYING THEM-I DID (by David K.):

I did not receive a judgement to come to court, only a judgement that they want to garnish. If they reissue a garnishment, are they supposed to send documentation for court?

There is no such thing as a "judgement to come to court" or a "judgement that they want to garnish". A judgement is a ruling issued BY a court, which provides the plaintiff with the right to collect from you (via garnishment or otherwise).

To obtain a judgement, the plaintiff must have the court serve you with papers specifying what they are seeking and summoning you to a hearing/trial on a specific date. If you received this and did not show up to dispute it, the plaintiff is issued a default judgement against you. If you did not receive a summons, then most likely there was never a hearing nor a judgement. This is easy to verify.
