    Default Warrant in Debt

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of Virginia. I have been mailed a copy of a warrant in debt against me for a medical bill that I have neglected to pay. The court date is set for the 31st of this month. I have not yet recieved a copy of this warrant at my home, being delivered by a sherriff. Is it leagal to just mail a copy of the warrant without having one delivered to me in person or posted on my door?
    Also, I currently have a garnishment on me at this time. Is it possible for the court to award another garnishment to my paycheck. I am having a hard time making ends meet with my husband being on unemployment and making way less than we are used too. I can not afford being garnished twice from my pay. Is there anything that I can do since I am running out of time?
    When I was served before I was served by mail and in person, I thought this is how it is suposed to be, can I use this in my defense and maybe have the court date postphoned?

    Default Re: Warrant in Debt

    Of course it's legal to mail you a copy. Why wouldn't it be legal? If anything, your question would relate to the sufficiency of the notice, not its legality. You may yet be served in person.

    Garnishments are capped. No matter how many creditors you have, the cap remains the same. You should make sure the court is aware of the other garnishment(s) so that they don't issue an order in excess of the cap.
