A judgment was filed against the author in court for unpaid credit card debt. However, the author recently filed for bankruptcy and was advised by their lawyer not to attend the court hearing. As the bankruptcy process just began last week, the author does not have a case number yet. The author is concerned whether the lawyers can garnish their wages right away, or if it will take some time due to the pending bankruptcy filing.

1. There was a judgment filed against me in court today?
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
