Default Judgement With Earnings Garnished

[helpersg]

The notice of execution after judgement was the first piece of information that my boyfriend received regarding an old debt. It was sent to his parent's PO Box. He believes the debt was nearly 6 years old and the creditor (the debt was sold off to another company) apparently made no attempt to contact him regarding the debt. The judgement was filed in Jan of '08 and the notice was sent mid March. Had he been properly notified by both the creditor and (I guess) the courts, he may not be in the predicament he is in currently. The debt has since tripled from being written off. Is there something he should do before his wages begin to be garnished? He may be able to get some assistance in paying off the debt but before he does that, was his debt collection handled properly? This occurred in NV.

He can go to the court that issued the judgment, look up how the plaintiff claims he was served, and see if he can raise sufficient questions of service to reopen the case. He can also research the law and court rules pertaining to the entry of the default judgment to see if he can still challenge the default, based upon whatever he finds in the court file.

Sorry to pose a question to an already existing one.

On average, how long does it take before a court rules a judgement that the notice is actually sent to the consumer? And how long before the creditor can actually enforce the judgement?
