What is the name of your state? Indiana

I have a judgment from a medical collection agency, which I have paid all but the interest so far. I have been to court with them, and have even gone in front of the judge because they were still trying to say that I but wouldn't tell me how much. (At that time, I had a receipt, showing that the original judgment had been satisfied.) The judge ordered them to check their records to find out why that money wasn't applied to the oldest judgment that I had. At that time, they said that I only had one. One judgment is all that has ever shown up on my credit report. This was in 2003, and the judgment was entered in 1997.

Now, I get a paper from my employer, stating that wage garnishment is beginning immediately on a SECOND judgment, entered in 1993, that I NEVER knew existed. Shouldn't they have informed me of this one when the judge ordered them to check their records?
