You need to get down to the bottom of what is going on. You have had to had a judgement rendered against you for something to have your pay check garnished. If you had no notice then maybe you can vacate the judgement for lack of service (personal jurisdiction). Find out from your employer from where it came and then find the corresponding court file. Good luck.
