I was recently noticed of removal of funds from my bank account to satisfy a judgment on a discover card account. There was also issued a Writ of execution to the sheriff to seize personal property to satisfy the alleged debt. I have disputed the debt, asked for verifcation, and demanded that they produce the original document, to all of which they have provided no substantive response, and have proceeded with total disregard for any of my requests. The matter went to a hearing (without me) and my responses to all thier letters were stricken from the record, and a judgment was rendered. I have a few questions

1) Can they lawfully remove funds from me or my bank account without a Garnishment hearing?

2) Is there any notice or process I can use to keep the Sheriff from executing said Writ?

3) As I have never been to court for anything, can someone explain how to go about vacating a void judgment?

Any response and help would be greatly appreciated. LT2DOGS
