After paying a judgement against me, two days later garnishment papers were sent to my work adding over $400 over the judgement amount. I have received nothing from the court for the additional amount. Do I owe the money added after I paid the full judgement amount. The payment was never reported to the court and she wouldn't sign the papers stating that I made the payment.

As I understand your post, you paid the judgment amount, but may not have paid the additional awarded costs and interest. Is that correct?? If so, then you need to read the judgment and see what, if any, amounts were added.

What did the judgment creditor say when you asked why these "additional funds" are owed???

If the additional $400 is valid, pay it. If not, then you should contact the original court and furnish proof that you have paid the judgment. IF the judgment has in fact been paid in full, the court can help you get a "Satisfaction of Judgment" filed to show the payment.
