The garnishment typically begins after the court has issued a judgment against you and the creditor has obtained a garnishment order. Once you receive the summons, you usually have a specified period to respond, often around 20 to 30 days, depending on your jurisdiction. If you do not respond or contest the claim, the garnishment can start shortly after the judgment is entered. It’s essential to check local laws for specific timelines and procedures.
After being served with a summons, the process for garnishment or court action can vary depending on the specific details of the case. Generally, it may take several weeks to several months for a judgment to be entered against you and for garnishment or court proceedings to begin. It is important to review the summons carefully and seek legal advice to understand the specific timeline and your options.
The only way to stop a garnishment is to file bankruptcy. In VA they must renew a garnishment summons every 90 days. So after 90 days, it expires and they must go to court and obtain a new summons
If the defendant does not respond to a summons, the plaintiff will usually win the case by default. A judgment will be awarded, a judgment can then be executed pursuant to state law, one option is wage garnishment. The defendant/debtor does not have to attend court. If he/she wants to protect property or perhaps have a chance to appeal the ruling, it would be in their best interest to make an appearance or retain legal counsel.
The best way to try to avoid wage garnishment is to make a payment before hand to try to show that your motivated to pay this off.
Yes. They can get a writ of judgment and enforce it in the form of wage garnishment. In civil court when a defendent does not answer a summons the plaintiff wins the case by default. Sometimes an appeal can be filed if there is a justifiable reason the defendent could not appear at the hearing.
If the defendant does not respond to the summons in the time indicated, the plaintiff usually wins the case by default. In such cases the judge awards a default judgement, the defendant may or may not be notified of the action depending upon the state's laws governing such issues. Once a judgment has been granted the winning plaintiff can enforce the judgment in numerous ways, one of those ways is a bank account levy/garnishment. A bank account garnishment can be in force for thirty days or until the amount is collected that is owed. Joint accounts are subject to garnishment to the amount that belongs to the debtor, it is the responsibility of the non-debtor to petition the court for the funds belonging to him or her. Joint marital counts are protected in a few states, however, the bank will generally "freeze" an account that it is not certain of, until the court rules on the validity of the garnishment order.
An alias summons is a duplicate summons issued at another time, or served in another way after the original has expired, or hasn't been served, or had no effect, or produced no response for some reason. Technically, the court has probably sent a second summons, since the first one didn't produce the results they thought it would. To stop the garnishment--go to court, take an attorney with you that knows what you did or didn't do. Have all your paper work for the attorney. See if you can work out an agreement with the court and lender to pay an amount that is agreeable to you both at a payment that you can afford -- BUT ..... If you do not show up and you do nothing--you will pay the $6800 + more in interest and court costs thru the garnishee which can be an amount that is not affordable to you or your family depending on the state you are in. Call An Attorney!! Do something and DO IT NOW!! Good Luck

The summons begins the process for you to go to court to argue your case. Be sure to respond to it before the ANSWER DATE at the top, or it will count against you in court or they may proceed without you. When you go to court (don't fail to show up!), you can plead with the judge about how much garnishment per pay check you can afford based on your income and expenses. Be sure to prepare an accurate COURT FINANCIAL STATEMENT to bring with you. In court, the judge will determine when the start date is for your garnishment. It may take your employer a couple of pay cycles to start the garnishment, but most likely, it will be retroactive from the date of the trial or even further, especially if you are behind on child support or other court-ordered payments.
The garnishment wount. But what led upto the garnishment may.
