Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Michigan

Avoiding garnishment
My business is in Boston and a judgement against me is in Michigan. I defaulted on a $3000 small claims demand and subsequently my bank notified me that a Michigan lawyer representing my past vendor in Michigan is attempting to garnish my bank account for $3000.

I've tried to avoid paying the last 2 months of a service contract ($1500/mo) due to poor service. Have tried negotiating with no positive result. I originally defaulted (didn't pay the demand)upon some (now) questionable advice.

No Massachusetts lawyer has been used by the plaintif in this case.

What's the best way to avoid paying current demand.

Re: Avoiding garnishment

1. Attorneys may not take part in small claims cases, including enforcement of judgments. File a grievance with the state bar.

2. There are few defenses to garnishment, so on the merits, you may be out of luck.

3. Have you considered bankruptcy?
