Q&A: Is it legal to garnish wages for a 14 year old debt?

Question by 888kristen: Is it legal to garnish wages for a 14 year old debt?
I have a debt for a car that is 14 years old and now they are garnishing me. Is it legal for them to do that so many years later?


Best answer:
Answer by CatDadWages can only be garnished when they take you to court and win a judgement....Debt this old is normally time-barred....but if they served you a summons and you didn't bother to show up in court...then they win automatically in spite of the age of the debt...this is called a default judgment.
