A judgment was filed against the individual for credit card debt in court, though they did not attend the hearing as advised by their bankruptcy lawyer since they recently filed for bankruptcy. As the bankruptcy process just began last week, there is no case number yet. The individual is concerned whether the lawyers can garnish wages right away due to missing the court hearing, or if it will take some time.

1. A judgment was filed against me in court, I did not show up for the hearing
?
I got a judgment against me in court today for some credit card debt. I filed fo
or bankruptcy last week and my bankruptcy lawyer told me to not show up today (s
ince I am filing bankruptcy). I just started the whole process of bankruptcy las
t Monday, so I don't have a case number yet. Since I didn't show up in court tod
ay, can the lawyers suing me garnish my wages right away, or does it take a coup
