If you have been sued, Judgment has been entered, and your wages have been or are about to be garnished, and you believe your wages are exempt, then visit our Attach and Garnish information page.

If you have been sued for a money deficiency after your automobile was repossessed, then visit our Were You Sued? information page.

If you have been sued and a Default and Default Judgment have been entered against you because you did not file an Answer (and, as a result, you have been or are about to be garnished and can't claim a legitimate exemption from garnishment), then see the following:
