Garnishment with same Fifa number

[medicwhite]

I received a judgement by not appearing because the summons was delivered to a roommate that did not pass it along. I know I should have done something as soon as I found out, but I did not. I was then garnished and scrapped for 6 months while paying it. The same collection agency has now garnished me again on another account that has not received a judgement and they are using the same Fifa number as the first. Can they do this? Any advice? I assume I need to file a traverse(sp).

Absolutely not they can't do that. In fact they can be severely fined for that. I would file a traverse and ask the Judge to punish them for knowingly garnishing your account without a judgment.
