What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
Last year my girlfriend and I were in her car driving through town. We pulled up to a legal stop at a stoplight, and a driver behind us failed to stop and smashed into our vehicle. She failed to respond to our attempts to settle out of court, and thus we filed a small claims case for the damages. A subpoena was delivered to her, and she attempted to get us to reschedule it a day beforehand because she could not get out of work. We went ahead with the planned date, and she failed to show up, and my girlfriend won by default. It has been 7 months since, and last month we went ahead with collections as she did not respond to any attempts to reach her, and delivered garnishment papers to her place of work. We have since received paperwork from said workplace that the garnishment was going to begin with her next paycheck. Now she is trying to get in touch with my girlfriend trying to get her address so she can give her some paperwork. We are both suspicious of this and I am wondering if there is any kind of legal recourse the woman might be trying to take, or if we should just ignore her requests at this point?
